After a last lovely breakfast in our palace hotel, Adam will prepare us for our museum visit later this morning, including discussing the controversial strategy of firebombing Dresden in WWII. Next, we depart for Dresden’s Military History Museum, where collections are chronologically arranged into three sections, Middle Ages to 1914, the Age of World Wars and 1945 to the present and include V2 rockets and a Hiroshima installation.  Yes, it’s playground where, with boyish enthusiasm, Adam can riff on nerdy German military stuff and manage to enthral us all.

Nearby, enjoy a delicious lunch at a top restaurant beloved by the locals.  Prost!

Next, it’s a treasure hunt in the colorful art space, the Kunsthof Passage.  This series of once-grimy courtyards was colonized by Dresden artists to become a grid of art, dance studios and installations and hosts some excellent boutiques for picking up the unique gift to take back home.

After a two-hour drive, we arrive at the Four Seasons Hotel in Prague.  You may wish to spend a peaceful evening in our gorgeous hotel centrally located at the foot of the Charles Bridge, or you may want to go for an evening stroll and have dinner out on the town.
