The old town of Napoli
About this time in one week time I´m gonna arrive in Rome, will have some breakfast and then board the train to Naples. About time to share some of last photos from my first time in Naples. This old heart of the city is quite special as it it “normaly” inhabited as opposed to many other towns (even Vienna) where they sometimes more resemble to a museum than a lively space. Not like that in Naples!
Another speciality à la Naples: the “Spaccanapoli” – the straight and narrow main street. Let´s take a walk with me and dive into the narrow alleys, squares and murals while enjoying a Caffé del Nonno.

A weekend in Dresden
Last Friday I boarded one of the brandnew Hellö-buses on to Dresden. Who had though that about 7 hours on a bus aren´t as bad as imagined, even without a working wlan most of the time – or maybe because of that? As this trip has been a quite spontanious one, going by bus was the cheapest way and it brought me safe and sound to a sunny Dresden.
As the only thing I had on my to-do-list for Dresden was visiting the Zwinger, I just wandered around old town and Neustadt, had a picknick on the Elbwiesen and enjoyed some music on the ongoing city-celebrations. Whenever I´m in a former communist town, I´m quite fascinated by the contrast of the really old monuments/buildings and the ones from the 60ies/70ies/80ies – baroque meets Plattenbau.
I probably spent most of my time walking on the terraces of the Zwinger – looking at all the different statues and all these beautiful details. From cheeky little angels and trolls to a more secret “garden” with some even more cheeky ladies…
And back outside to the Semperopera making bold statements!
Fullmoon over Dresden.
