On Wednesday, I went on the 10am tour with Claudia as guide and four other German tourists. They were all very patient as Claudia took the time to give me the spiel in English after she'd done it in German for the others. Consequently, our three hour tour took four hours.

| Claudia in front of the Frauenkirche |
 |
| Semperoper |
 |
| Elberadweg, left bank. The river is really low - officially 58cm |
 |
| Our first stop, at three castles: |
 |
| Schloss Albrechtsberg |
 |
| Lingnerterassen |
 |
| Schloss Eckberg |
 |
| The Blue Wonder, built in 1893, around 3.5km from Dresden |
 |
| Expensive houses in Loschwitz |
 |
| The Elberadweg |
 |
| Crossing the Elbe on the Waldschloessenbruecke |
 |
| View of Dresden from the bridge |
 |
| The Elberadweg again, on the right bank |
 |
| Selfie from a Segway! |
 |
| Linden trees? |
 |
| Approaching Dresden |
 |
| Paddlesteamers docked along the river's edge |
 |
| It's quite easy to ride with no hands |
 |
| Augustus the Strong (1670-1733), Elector of Saxony |
 |
| Looking towards Poland (he was King of Poland, too) |
 |
| Crossing back on the Augustusbruecke |
 |
| Cobbled streets are the norm, here, too |
