Excursions V: Countryside Adventures

For our day trip into the countryside we went on this crazy, insane hiking trip on the Elbsandsteingebirge, a mountain range along the Elbe River in between German and the Czech Republic. It's not that it was an especially difficult hike - it just had lots and lots of stairs as well as ladders, ramps, and really tiny walkways - it was like nothing I've ever done before - but I loved every minute of it! I'd have to say that it was probably the best part of our excursion - after all we had a chance to get outside and just enjoy nature - not to mention the view, which was absolutely gorgeous!!!

And then, to make the day even better we headed over to Meißen after the hike for dinner - where I had amazing lasagna (well, not as good as the lasagna in Italy - but still pretty good)! While we were there we also had the chance to explore the mini city, check out the palace and all the old churches - it was a really cute, more typical German town!
