Dresden 3

     I did get to the Alte Meister Gemälde Galerie on Friday.  It was in one way a disappointment.  I mean, seeing the paintings is always a treat not to be missed.  But, due to the renovations that had it closed completely, only 55 works were on display in 3 rooms.  It was very crowded.  It will be this way until December.  I also got to the sculpture collection and new masters collection at the Albertinium.

 Very much worth a visit.
     I ate at la Osteria again.  It is in Kreuzstraße and once again I could not have been more satisfied.  I had tortelini with Bolognese sauce that was delicious!  I also walked over the bridge and up to Albert Platz.  The Augustus Bridge is being renovated and it makes that whole area look awful.  The beautiful view of the Altstadt from the other side of the river is ruined.  But...   Anyway I ate right on the Platz at the Augustinier Beer restaurant.  I don't remember the actual name.  It was for lunch and I had a schnitzl and pommes but I did get to have 2 delicious dark beers!

  My return trip was uneventful.  Dresden is great.  I would go again and I would recommend it to anyone.  Stay at the Dresden Hilton - it rules.
