Leaving the motorway in Dresden spontaneously, having a walk in the old quarter – never been there before!

If you wanna stop, then stop. Habits are there to be broken. DN breaks with habits and itineraries. Do what you always did not allow you to do, but is perfectly an option if you think of it.

Good. Carved it out of a day of 8h of driving. Did not want to come to Berlin all too late, so it was in the end only 1,5h rather than full 2h.

[collapse title=”Before/While/Effect”]
BEFORE: Driving. Did spontaneously take the exit to the Center of Dresden on my way to Berlin. Was already late, 21.00.
WHILE: The sewage area where I parked my car first was so untouristy and only meant for a 10min walk. Over the bridge I saw some nice grown over parking lots, full trees there. Would be great for a cold war scene in a movie. The center of the town was more an aim later, including drinking a beer somewhere. Around the church, the castle and over the enourmous squares, they still did not have rebuilt the town. Archeology is excavating as if the bombs fell 10 years ago. Some parts of Dresden I do not need to see again, they look polished and boring as in every German town. Where is the rough corner or flavour? The old lady in medieval dress talking about former times to a group of tourists at night was fun to look at.
Notes: Zartlesbischer Kostümkarpfen
AFTER: Invigorated. No parking ticket. A bit tired.

Standing and balancing on a tree stump, trying to empathize being a tree.. Meeting a colleague by chance, walking and talking together..

Doing nothing while standing on a tree mediates a feeling of time-elongation.. Suddenly i begin to think not only in minutes and hours but in generations.. Unbelievable!
