This was an amazing, fun filled day that I'll never forget!!!! We went to visit the Colditz Castle and we went and explored Dresden!!! After seeing the beauty of Dresden it was hard for me to want to come home and I'll think you'll understand after seeing the pictures. No really if I could have stayed longer I don't think I would have hesitated. Nope I'm pretty sure I would have just stayed longer!!!! We are flying currently flying over Amsterdam and I already miss everybody in Hoyeswerda. Anywho back to the outstanding sight seeing we experienced yesterday.
Colditz Castle:
Inner courtyard panoramic
Outside courtyard
Now that you've seen the outside-- how about the inside!!! Any guesses on what the castle was used for?? Hmmm look at the pictures to find out:)
Hmmm I do believe that this is the answer!!!! Well kind of.... The reason this camp is well known are the stories of the escapes and attempted escapes by the prisoners.
Example of a prisoners room:
Clarinet played in the theater in one of the many performances put on by the prisoners (officers)
One officer tried to escape i. One of these.... He got placed upside down and got caught trying to get out of the box.
Now it's time for stories and facts!!!
We were unable to take a guided tour or extended tour throughout all the castle but we did have Jonathan!! He and his sister Janine were the reason we knew about this castle. Jonathan write a paper all about Coldvitz so really we had our own personal tour guide. I should have more pictures of the castle and Dresden from Jonathan later on:)
This is Jonathan being Jonathan in Dresden
Our trip to Dresen will be in the next post cause our food on the plane has arrived.
Love, Deidre
Here is a preview of the beauty we saw!!
