July 5
Yesterday we pulled into port at Meissen, the beautiful riverside city most famous for the highest quality porcelain in Europe, dating from the 18th century. Early morning rain gave way to a beautiful day. Our morning discovery was a tour through the magnificent Meissen porcelain factory/museum, keeping our credit cards in our pockets! A walk through town showed us the old, neglected east Germany, then the beautifully restored town center. I broke away to find a pub serving saurbraten unt pilsner.
Afternoon consumed with a trip into the country for a royal estate and winery tour.
We selected 5 of our new women friends for my birthday dinner table, complete with champagne, cake, and a singing captain and crew, followed by the crew "follies" as we sailed into beautiful Dresden, all aglow. What a Day.
