Before leaving Nuremberg we visited the old Nazi Parade Grounds (Reichsparteitagsgelände), and learnt a little more of the history of the Nazis and their involvement in Nuremberg. Some of the old films and photos at the Documentation Centre were especially interesting, as we could recognise some of the buildings we'd visited the previous day.We drove from there to Dresden, checked in to our hotel, and caught the tram into town. The architecture here was amazing, more and more we are realising what a young country Australia is and how we have nothing that really compares to these old cities. Even though nearly everything was flattened in WW2 they have rebuilt nearly all of the beautiful buildings. As in most other European cities, all the sights are quite close together so it makes it easy for walking around and Dresden's are set quite close to the river. Every time we think we have seen enough for a while we find the next city better than the last.
