The weather was still gorgeous and Ursula stayed home to help with our laundry and go to her exercise class. Siegward drove us to Pillnitz Castle on the river Elbe. High above the city we could see the field and grounds of August the Strong. We could even see some of the Czech Republic. We saw the gondola used by August, and a 250 year old Camilia tree given by the Japanese as a gift.
We stopped at a beer garden and had delicious wurst, kraut, and pureed potato. We asked, "Are there any roads where you can see the homes of the high society?" Siegward surprised us by driving into a driveway that looked like a private residence. When we got out, he pointed up to the towers and said "I told them three towers, not two!" As though he were the lord of the manor. We laughed when we realized he had actually taken us to a palace that was designated for public use.
<- We will never forget our meals with these people
Nicole at August the Strong's ->
We were taken to a famous milk bar, est. in 1926 in the Neustadt area. Its elaborate decor almost rivaled that of the actual products being sold.
Dinner that night was spent at the (500 year old) homey Hexenhaus, just a walk from their house, for delicious Schnitzel!
Note: WE FINALLY BOUGHT OUR GPS! YAHOO!

| The macho cashier asked Charles if he wanted the "woman's" beer (only slightly smaller in size but much smaller in price), or the "man's" beer. Charles confidently replied, "The woman's!" |
