We went on a paddle steamer on the River Elbe to Meissen today

The weather was a bit miserable, but only a bit of drizzle.

Messen old town was largely traffic free, and really nice, with a castle and cathedral at the top of a hill

Time for a drink and sausage

In the afternoon, we walked to the Meissen porcelain factory, where we had a guided tour that was fascinating.

Demonstrations of the main processes:

Didn’t buy any though!
