Finally I was able to post photos. Above is a castle as viewed from the Rhine boat cruise between Rudesheim and St.GOAR.
The Dome in Cologne was super interesting and I have many pics but here is an unusual angle shot. The Done is again getting a reno.
Buddy is standing in the town square in Frankfurt on the Main.
Here is an old castle in Lauf Germany where we stopped for lunch after leaving Prague and heading to Frankfurt.
Prague is viewed from the Moldau perspective There are pics of the castle and cathedrals too but I chose a water scene.
This is at the town square in Prague. We had one day to tour the city on our own the day before our larger group EU tour and we opted for a couple of hours by cab with a driver who spoke some English. He showed us places more dear to locals than our official tour guide that followed the next day. it was worth experiencing the city the cab way.
The Dresden Hauptbahnhof is getting a huge make over for bullet trains to run between Dresden and Prague to cut down travel time between to countries. This is a joint venture and it will be ready soon. EU is transforming in many ways.
Buddy stands at the foot of a castle and winery just outside Dresden where we stayed in a lovely resort. It was great to do some rural touring too.
Our trip began here in Berlin on August 6. Buddy is sitting on he roof top restaurant where we enjoyed a fantastic breakfast overlooking the city. the day was hot but fabulous. Berlin was the place hubby asked to see. Our hotel was right in the heart of the fancy shopping district. He took a few hours to explore his favourite brands and only bought one outfit on sale. For him that took some self restraint.
In Berlin we also rented a cab for a personal city tour and our driver was very impressive showing us more than a tour bus might have. The cab's AC was much needed on this day as Berlin hit record high temperatures. In the distance is the old St.Nicoli church.
Buddy is wearing his Marvel T-shirt at the Brandenburg Gate, one of the many stops our cab driver made possible.
This piece of architecture is around the area of the Gate and was located to the east. Berlin is now thriving after the reunification.
As you can see my photos follow no sequential order and I did not care today.My main aim was to reconnect my blog to photos and that goal was met. I shall try to share more soon.
PS. Our hearts go out to all who are now stuck in the horror of hurricane Michael. We send you our positive vibes.

Looks like you had a grand tour, for sure!
You've showed some lovely photos that brought back some nice memories of my travels to Dresden and Prague. I'd love to go again.
Beautiful!
That sounds like an extensive beautiful trip. You brought back memories for me.
It is amazing that they could build these magnificent things so long ago. How did they do it?
Sounds like you were smart to take the local taxi tours in addition to the regular ones. No one knows a city like the locals. Buddy sure looks grand in red.
WOW (as Buddy says)----- I can 'feel' your love for that area ---and it was wonderful for Buddy to experience it also.... Sounds like you truly had a Trip of a Lifetime....
I love the idea of taking the cab rides and listening to the driver talk about what the locals do in that area.... That is so much more important than all of the 'touristy' stuff I think...
Hugs,
