There are no words to describe the feeling of a front row seat to one of the most infamous cities in Peru. The city of Cusco is the gateway to Machu Pichu. The Inkan culture comes alive in this small but special city.<br />
<br />
Why not choose a hotel that offers endless amenities, great staff, and upscale hotel experience, .....and oh yeah, home of the best views in the house! Most people prefer to pick a hotel in the city center for convenience and to be immersed in the city. Keep in mind, Peruvians are passionate about fireworks, singing and dancing in the streets at all hours of the night. For comfort and peace that may not be the best option.<br />

The Hilton Garden Inn is a newer hotel in Cusco. Escape from all the noise and just enjoy what there is to the city. The hotel is located right up the hill and a short walk or taxi ride from the city center. Take it from me, you will be thrilled with your decision to stay here.<br />

As you approach the hotel lobby 2 gentleman will welcome you by opening the doors. As you enter into the lobby area you will be blown away by the large chandelier in the center and decor of the furniture. Don't be afraid to walk up to the front desk to check in since the staff is beyond grateful. You have arrived!.......your journey has begun!<br />
<br />
After you check in, put your things down in the room and go explore around the hotel. This is a very spacious hotel with lots of amenities to indulge.<br />

The beachy sandy vibes and outdoor romantic ambiance will take your breath away. Using this hotel as a romantic getaway for you and your sweetheart or just a plain, old fashioned getaway with friends and maybe family, you've for sure come to the right place. Walking through the lobby, enjoying the island flare and approaching a humongous pool and walking further, to arrive directly at the beach, might be hard to wrap your head around. <br />

How about going to the upscale restaurant and reviewing the menu to find a nice selection of Peruvian Specialties? There's a special drink that is a must to order, it is called the Pisco Sour. Indulge in the pool area while sitting near the glass windows. In the morning for breakfast, a beautifully prepared buffet will be waiting for you to enjoy.<br />

It's time to have a swim in the pool and see how long it takes for you to do some breast strokes back and forth, maybe even do some handstands in the water. Once you're ready, take a walk down to the beach and get a nice suntan.<br />

There are some nice outdoor bars right in front of the pool. There's a large selection of alcoholic beverages to choose from, but again make sure you try the famous Pisco Sour. This is a speciality drink that Peruvians are well versed on. It's strong and will get you ready to be free.<br />

Having the ability to choose from the Argentinian and Brazilian side was a tough choice. Before heading to Iguazu people told me to focus more on the Argentinian side because it was larger and there were more opportunities to get closer to the falls.<br />

Picking a hotel in the town seemed a bit far from the falls and you were required to drive to the falls. I found that there was only one hotel that was right inside the park and had direct access to the falls. The Melia Hotel, which was formerly the Sheraton Hotel. As I arrived at the hotel, the greenery and grounds that were spread out gave you a feeling of freedom. As I walked into the hotel, I looked out of the glass windows and couldn't believe what I was looking at, the famous Iguassu Falls.<br />

Even though there was nothing else around the hotel, it still seemed to be so convenient that everything you needed was right at your fingertips. Who could ask for more. The hotel rooms were a little older but cozy, the hotel itself has its own personal features that standout.<br />

Not sleeping much that evening because of my excitement to be there, I woke up early to have breakfast downstairs and enjoy the view of the falls as I ate a delicious buffet breakfast. I sat right next to the window and just gazed at the falls. After breakfast, all I had to do was walk right out and steps ahead there were signs for quite a few trails that all led to the falls.<br />

Since I only have a couple hours to spare before my bus leaves, I'd like to see what I can get my hands into.<br />

As I was walking around doing some last minute window shopping, I went into one of the cute little town shops and asked what were some good things to see in the area of where the Notre Dame Basicilica was. There is a small little street you would pass by the blink of an eye. Down this narrow street there are some very special things to see.<br />
<br />
As my mind was racing to check out this mysterious street, I found myself in amazement. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://ruedutresor.qc.ca/anglais/main.html" target="_blank">Du Tresor Street </a>was founded in the 1960s, fine art students decided to display their work on the walls. <br />

Thats right, down this small short narrow pathway is where all the artists around the city display their work. As I walked by to admire the works of art, I realized I needed a nice picture for my bedroom. I found this incredible painting of the fairmont hotel but the size was too big and it would be difficult to pack in my luggage bag. Unfortunately I had to pass on the painting.<br />
<br />
As a suggestion if you want to buy large works of art, especially several pieces, make sure to bring the appropriate size bag with you and have it well packaged up.<br />

As I approached the <a href="http://holydoorquebec.ca/en/" target="_blank">Cathedral</a> there were many people standing outside, taking pictures and chit chatting around. It is one of Quebec Cities historical masterpieces aside from the Fairmont hotel. Enough of the waiting outside, i'd like to go in now.<br />

I am always amazed by the architecture of the cathedrals. I can never see too many because they are all designed so differently. It just amazes me how much time and effort is put in to building such a beautiful place. I can appreciate the different architecture between this <a href="http://holydoorquebec.ca/en/" target="_blank">Notre dame</a> and the one in Montreal.</div>

I couldn't decide what I wanted so I practically bought the whole store. As I bit down on the pastry it just sank right into my mouth. I knew I had to stop before I ate everything. Can always count on those extra pounds to creep up on you when your making bad decisions at a bakery.</span></div>

After all the adventures, wonderful experiences, friendly and helpful people, and exquisite food its time to say goodbye. Lots of memories made in such a short time in a small but unforgettable city. <span style="text-align: start;">I realized in a 20 minute timeframe you can get through seeing all of Downtown Quebec City. Imagine how much you can do in one day that quickly. But take a couple days to take your time and really enjoy what you are doing and learning. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">From what I notice, Quebec City isn't one of Canada's larger cities. With that said, it seems to be pretty easy to get around town. You can get around in a hop skip and a jump, whether you decide to do a tour, take a cab, or walk around. Give yourself a couple days to spread the sightseeing out that way you don't miss a beat.</span></div>

After checking into the <a href="https://www.hotelchateaulaurier.com/en/" target="_blank">Chateau Laurier</a> Hotel, I had quite an appetite. So many options to choose from, but where would I pick for my first meal. I do recall the <a href="https://www.hotelchateaulaurier.com/en/" target="_blank">Chateau Laurier </a>concierge recommending a restaurant called <a href="http://savini.ca/" target="_blank">Savini</a>. This restaurant is located in Old Quebec City. <a href="http://savini.ca/" target="_blank">Savini</a> is one of Quebec Cities top restaurants. The reviews from the hotel are the cuisine is superb and the restaurant has a phenomenal ambiance. </div>

As I arrived to the restaurant the hostess asked if I wanted to sit in or out. That question wasn't hard to answer, I replied, "Outside please." Oh boy oh boy, the weather was beautiful and the streets were hopping. Great time to people watch and enjoy my meal at the same time.<br />

A little history about <a href="https://www.sepaq.com/ct/pcm/" target="_blank">Montmorency Falls</a>, it is located between the borough of Beauport and Boischatel, it is approximately 7.5 miles from the heart of the Old Quebec City. The area surrounding the falls is protected within the Falls Park. This is the mouth of the Montmorency River where it drops over the cliff shore into the Saint Lawrence River, opposite from Ile d'Orleans.</div>

There are limited areas for tourists who are not staying at the hotel. After I did some peeking around I made my way back to the hotel.

</div>
Arriving in Montreal was very exciting, I was eager to see what this city had to offer to me. From what I heard, the city is a great place for people of all ages. There is some great sightseeing during the day, and when you get hungry don't worry, you have a variety of great restaurants to choose from. Whether your looking for fine dining or casual eateries it would be hard not to find what your taste buds are craving.<br />
<br />
Before the sun goes down book a party bike and be open to meeting new people, beware you will have a great driver who is very upbeat, loves to dance, and pushes you to peddle when you may wanna quit.<br />

What better way to see one of the hottest areas in Montreal than to do a walking tour with <a href="http://localmontrealtours.com/" target="_blank">Montreal Food Tours</a>. Expect this tour to last a few hours. Take a walk with me <br />
through the hippest streets of Montreal.<br />
<br />
Since the 1980s Mile End has been known for its culture as an artistic neighborhood, home to artists, musicians, writers, and filmmakers. Many art galleries, designers' workshops,<br />
boutiques and cafés are found in the neighborhood.</div>

The <a href="https://velofestifmtl.com/en/">Velo Festif</a> consists of your choice of music and as a group you all peddle together in order for the bike to move. Its a wild ride with this fun outgoing tour guide. The best part was waving to all the locals and tourists. This bike tends to get a lot of attention. Some people look at you like they've never seen such a bike before. Made me laugh. But I always like the attention.<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

The location of this hotel is right in the heart of Downtown Montreal, if you decide to rent a car you can either valet or park in the garage. But in my opinion walking is great and the public transportation system is pretty good for a small price. Walking to several of the sightseeing spots is very convenient from the hotel, depending where you want to go, the walk could be 20 minutes or 10 minutes just depends.<br />
<br />
This hotel has a lot of events and conventions going on throughout the year, with that said, I would recommend booking ahead. The airport isn't terribly far from the Downtown Montreal area, but just keep in mind traffic conditions and wait times on the road. <br />

If you're gonna head to this large East Coast Canadian City make sure to fit Niagara Falls into your schedule. Get an up-close wet experience of this massive waterfall. Its a major attraction worth seeing. <br />

In the small town of Niagara it is the boarder crossing between Canada and New York state. So after you catch this beautiful attraction, take a drive across to the New York side and check it out.<br />

Getting to choose between a helicopter ride and a group boat tour was a tough decision. Boat tour sounds much more hands on. I can get a front row seat to getting wet and wild. Put on a rain coat and feel the beautiful breezes of the fresh crisp air as you get washed away going through the Falls. <br />

The "Sasquatch" is approximately 1.5 miles long and the experience lasts only a couple of minutes. The point from Blackcomb Mountain to Whistler Mountain is an unforgettable experience. <br />

The suspense of going up the chair lift to the highest point of the mountain, gearing up for the thrill of your life, stepping over the edge getting ready to race a partner of your choice, time to step off the edge, let go of all of your fears and drift away. Be daring and use no hands to go faster, your legs dangle and your body slightly spins. The wind blowing in your face and the endless views of the mountaintops are amazing. The feeling you don't want this experience to end!<br />

After this wild experience you to get to take a gondola ride back down the Whistler Mountain. Wow now its your turn. This activity will take your breath away. It sure took mine.<br />
<br />
<br />
After all the excitement I worked myself up with a big appetite. I had heard about a cute little Italian Restaurant called <a href="http://pastalupino.com/" target="_blank">Pasta Lupino</a> located in the Main Village. When I walked in, it reminded me of a cute little restaurant you would find in Italy. Behind the glass cooler there was a variety of homemade pasta's to choose from. If you wish to take the pasta home and cook it yourself that is an option. <br />

As I approached the menu I found so many options but some of the most popular dishes from what I learned were the Meat Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana, and the Raviolis.</div>

Now, time to walk off all those calories. I'm gonna take a peak at the Ironman Event. Every year Whistler holds a triathlon event that consists of running, bicycling, and swimming. The contestants can go for roughly 2.4 miles swimming, bicycling 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles. <br />

After watching all that exercise, its time to take a load off and feed my stomach. All the chitter chatter around the village made me want to check out <a href="http://www.mjg.ca/brewhouse/" target="_blank">The Brewhouse</a>. As you look around they are packed to the T. Get ready to kick back and pop a few beers. Choose from their award winning ales and lagers they have to offer. <br />

Why not have the chicken, it looks delish. Let me warn you, the chicken will not only melt in your mouth, but it is complimented by some crispy green beans and buttery mashed potatoes. Pairing that with a nice beer your all set to go. <br />

One of the highlights of the evening wasn't just everyone jumping to the DJ playing your favorite song, but doing the "Limbo." Just close your eyes and envision yourself doing the limbo. How low can you go? I couldn't bare the thought that at my age I can still do the limbo.</div>

After a wild night of fun I knew it was time to leave. Sad but true. When choosing a private car service to take me back to Vancouver, I wisely chose Luxury Transport.<br />
I felt like a million bucks as I was escorted by a distinguished Canadian gentleman. As I stepped into a luxurious Mercedes Benz I felt so comfortable and at ease. Thank you <a href="http://www.luxbus.com/" target="_blank">Luxury Transport </a> for making it possible for me to get back safe and sound to my destination.</div>
<br />
Now that I have arrived back in Vancouver I'm ready for my next adventure, Calgary here I come!!Carlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09862790810039293581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926042944589817652.post-33224293178172330592021-10-10T15:30:00.000-07:002022-03-09T16:58:05.265-08:00A Day of Canadian Adventures<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a full day ahead of adventures!<br />
I decided to contact <a href="http://www.canadianwilderness.com/" target="_blank">Canadian Wildnerness Tours</a> since they provide all kinds of tours in the area! My first tour of the day is the <a href="http://www.canadianwilderness.com/" target="_blank">River of Golden Dreams Canoe Tour</a>.<br />
<br />
Now you know I love a good adrenalin rush, so why would I book a leisurely canoe tour? Because it is voted Whistler's number one thing to do and a summertime classic.<br />
<br />
The tour begins in the main village where we board a bus that takes us to Lake Alta.<br />
<br />

We start out by paddling across the historic Alta Lake. This is truly a popular place as I see people enjoying paddle boarding, kayaking and of course canoeing.</div>

We made our way into the lush river mouth paddling through flowing lilies. <br />

After about 2 1/2 hours of pure nature, I was ready for some lunch before my next adventure of the day!<br />
<br />
As I wandered around the main village I found a great place that is well known for their Bison Burger and milkshakes! So <a href="http://www.splitzgrill.com/" target="_blank">Splitz</a> is where I decide to have lunch. <br />
Once I placed my order with the cashier, I then moved down the line and told the cook which toppings I wanted on my burger. <br />

It's now time for my next tour of the day so I head back to the <a href="http://www.canadianwilderness.com/" target="_blank">Canadian Wilderness Tour Office</a> and get ready for some real adventure!<br />
<br />
I'm now ready for another great tour that Canadian Wilderness offers, their most popular, the <a href="http://www.canadianwilderness.com/" target="_blank">ATV Adventure!!</a><br />
<br />
Of course, I decided to wear all black clothing so I would be completely dusty and dirty at the end, but I didn't care I was ready for a wild ride that was ahead.<br />

As it started getting more challenging I have to admit my heart was pumping while I was riding the ATV, it was a rough fun rugged ride. The tour guide took us over large rocks and sandy, muddy, narrow and wide pathways, around sharp corners and up steap hills to get to a very high area of the mountain. <br />
<br />

I actually felt quite happy I accomplished something so scary, usually I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to things like this.<br />
<br />
After all that fun I worked up quite an appetite!<br />
I took a walk around the village and found the <a href="http://themexicancorner.ca/" target="_blank">Mexican Corner</a><br />
Perfect, because I LOVE Mexican food!! </div>

As I looked over the menu, I had a very hard time trying to make a decision on what I was going to eat. Everything looked and sounded delicious. They had a few different choices for the customer who can't handle the heat but most of the dishes will have a kick to them so be prepared.<br />
<br />
I started with some beef taquitos. I know, this looks like a meal in it self, but that's what they do here, give you plenty of food!<br />

Today I am on my way to Whistler from Vancouver. I had so many choices for my mode of transportation, what ever shall I choose? A shuttle, a taxi, or a bus? Those are the obvious, but I wanted something a little different. How about a private car service!! Heck, I've always wanted to be chauffeured around while traveling!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I contacted "<a href="https://whistlerwired.com/transportation/" target="_blank">Whistler Wired</a>". My driver picked me up right on time, and he was very informative about Whistler. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, my driver did like sharing some wonderful information about Whistler, but I truly loved that he was willing to help me capture some of this beauty on our drive up.</div>

Time for a little exploring now! I don't know if you realize this or not, but I am actually in the 2010 Winter Olympics Village. This is where all the athletes stayed during the events. As I am walking around, I remember my driver had mentioned that Whistler is divided into 2 villages. One is the Upper Village and the other is the Lower Village. The Lower Village is popp'in with summer adventurers and people of all ages doing twirls and flips on their mountain bikes. I loved seeing people sitting outside some of the colorful restaurants having a quick bite and a beer chatting it up about their agenda for tomorrow. </div>

All that walking and window shopping made me a bit hungry. I thought it would be great to actually go back to my room and enjoy the view and relax while I had a little something to eat. With so many choices I decided to ask the Concierge at my hotel for his recommendations on a good place that delivers! He recommended <a href="http://www.avalanchepizza.com/" target="_blank"> Avalanche Pizza</a> which just so happens to be the best pizza in Whistler! Organic pizza and gluten free pizza dough. The owner of the company, Rick, is originally from Toronto. When he decided to move to Whistler he opened Avalanche Pizza and he has been the only business in 20 years that has lasted here in the village. He made me a special pizza, one half of it was called the butter chicken also known as the curry chicken, the other half of the pizza had spinach and mushrooms with sprinkled ricotta cheese. I have never had any pizza or seen any pizza like this one. Make sure to try his pies when you are in Whistler. They truly are a great pizza place.<br />
<br />
Well this girl needs to get rested up!<br />
Because Whistler has a great variety of activities you can do!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have been following me and my travels, you know how much I love a great adrenaline rush! And there are plenty of outdoor activities for me to choose from to fulfill this, need for speed! Hmmm, which shall I choose?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zip lining? Riding an ATV? Mountain biking?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well who said I had to pick just one?</div>
I've decided to fill my day tomorrow with some outdoor activities to get the adrenaline pumping through my veins!! </div>

<br />
Today I am heading to one of Irelands most visited attractions, <a href="http://www.cliffsofmoher.ie/" target="_blank">The Cliffs of Moher</a>! Yes, I am a tourist and I must see this natural wonder.<br />
<br />
The cliffs take their name from an old fort called Moher, which once stood on Hag's Head, the southernmost point of the cliffs.<br />
<br />
<span id="dscexpitem_-1629656788_2">The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They rise 394ft (120 m) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head and reach their maximum height of 702ft (214m).</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are many options for getting to the Cliffs, but I have chosen once again, <a href="http://lallytours.com/blog/travel/galway-cliffs-of-moher-express/" target="_blank">Lally Tours</a>! Because Lally Tours personnel were so friendly and accommodating to my needs when I went to the Aran Islands (read about my day<a href="http://carlasgotthetravelbug.blogspot.com/2015/11/aran-islands.html" target="_blank"> here</a> ) I knew that I would be in good hands!<br />
<br />
Lally Tours offers a non-stop express service that is a non-guided shuttle service to the Cliffs of Moher. Plus I get a 2 full hours to explore on my own!<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Needless to say, the views are breathtaking!</div>

O’Brien’s Tower was built in 1835 by Cornelius O’ Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru, the High King Of Ireland. Cornelius was the local landowner and was a man ahead of his time, believing that the development of tourism would benefit the local economy & bring the people out of poverty</div>

This morning I am anxious to take a little cruise over to the <a href="http://www.aranislands.ie/" target="_blank">Aran Islands</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And to help me do this I booked with a great tour company <span id="goog_219997688"></span>"<a href="http://lallytours.com/" target="_blank">Lally Tours</a>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From my hotel I took a bus to the city center of Galway where I then made a short 5 minute walk to Lally Tours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lally Tours gets you to where you need to go! They worked with my schedule and provided me the bus and ferry transfers I needed to get to the Aran Islands. However, once on<a href="http://inismor.ie/" target="_blank"> Inis Mor</a>, (Inishmore) I was free to roam this beautiful island on my own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After about 40 minutes, I could see that my decision to visit Inis Mor was going to be amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note: Lally Tours does not provide transportation once on the Aran Islands. However, there are options on getting around once you disembark from the ferry. You can choose from a line of vehicles waiting with locals ready to take you on your adventure, or rent a bike and peddle the island. I chose a driver with a van!</div>

The island of Inis Mór (Inishmore) meaning the big island, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ireland. It is Well known internationally with over 50 different monuments of Christian, pre Christian and Celtic mythological heritage. There isn’t far you can go before being somewhere where there’s something of historical interest and little reason to question its importance in modern Irish Culture.</div>

Well, besides the fact that the Avoca House is only one mile to Dublin city center and near the Airport, Audrey & Jack are amazing hosts that made me feel so welcomed and comfortable!<br />

You will be happy to know that all the rooms in Avoca House also include a TV and video recorder, as well as tea and coffee facilities.<br />
<br />
My room had a queen size bed, but there are several choices if you are traveling with more people. You can even choose a triple room!<br />
</div>
<div class="rt-clearleft">
A marvelous breakfast is included with your stay of fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, smoked salmon or the famous "Irish Breakfast" is also available. I chose the traditional Irish Breakfast that included Sausages, rashers, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns (potato cakes), beans, white pudding. <br />Brown bread/ toast. <br />Tea/Coffee.<br />
<br />
So if you find yourself in Dublin, I highly recommend the Avoca House for your stay!<br />

<br />
As I got off the bus, which was very convenient as it stopped right in front of my hotel, there was a very tall building that looked like a round world globe with a long antenna sticking out of it. I soon learned that this was the famous "TV Tower", one of Berlin's hottest attractions. I later heard that people spend hours in line to go up to the top to view the city. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I checked into the hotel, I didn't know what to expect. The Front Desk Attendant informed me that they had reserved a room for me on the top floor of the building. What she failed to mention was how special this room was. In my suspense, I couldn't wait to see the room. As I got off of the elevator and approached my room I opened the door. I couldn't believe my eyes. The room and views were amazing. The TV Tower was right in front of me. This is an attraction that is a must. Get a first class ticket to one of Berlin's hottest attractions and definitely stay at the <a href="http://www.parkinn-berlin.de/en/" target="_blank">Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz</a>. Beautiful views in the day and amazing lights at night. </div>

I decided to do something a little different as a tourist in Berlin. And when I heard about "<a href="http://www.eat-the-world.com/en/food-tasting-cultural-tours-berlin.html" target="_blank">Eat The World Tours</a>", I thought, it can't get any more different than that!!<br />
<br />
I mean think about it. You get to stroll with an experienced guide telling you all about the area while stopping in little cafe's and tasting a vast array of foods!<br />
<br />
Eat The World has several tours to choose from. I chose the <a href="http://www.eat-the-world.com/en/culinary-city-tours-berlin/booking/berlin-neukoelln-tour.html" target="_blank">Berlin Neukölln-Tour</a>. And as you continue reading, you will understand why!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this particular tour, as we made our way through a cute little area of Berlin, my guide led me to 7 different eateries. I'm going to share with you a few of those stops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So come stroll with me through these beautiful streets of Berlin and see what I had to eat!</div>

Dresden is one of the cultural centers of Germany and a city so rich in history that I decided if I was going to even begin to understand this city, I would need an experienced tour guide! And boy did I find a good one!</div>

Jana, a local of Dresden, runs a company for private tours for 10 years now. <a href="http://www.discoverdresden.com/" target="_blank"> Discover Dresden</a> is her company, and she offers a variety of tours. I took two tours during my time in Dresden, the "Outer New Town", a special district in Dresden, and the "Baroque New Town". When Jana came to meet me at my hotel, she began the tour right in the Westin lobby! As we made our way through the lobby to the backside of the hotel, I had no idea what I was about to witness! We walked down the stairs and she took me by the Elbe River, and there was the Old Town right in front of my eyes! I couldn't believe this picturesque view that was right in front of me. I looked at her and said, "Jana is this for real?" Needless to say, I chose the best hotel for this area! </div>

As we went on the tour she explained to me about the convention center and a mosque-like building which started as a cigarette factory about 100 years ago. Now it has been turned into an office building. When the factory was still open it was the main source of where the cigarettes where made and produced in Dresden.<br />

So moving on, as we walked down the streets, Jana explained to me that some of the buildings survived WWII and that they were abandoned during communism. Architects and property owners have spent lots of money and time since the re-unification to bring back old glory. A few buildings though still could use some fixing up.</div>

Jana took me to the new town of Dresden where in the center are two fountains that break up each side of the street. This area was built based on it being used for cars to go in many different directions, so as you see trams and cars and bicycles have many ways to go. It is said that this particular area is one of the busiest streets for cars and transportation driving by in all of Dresden. </div>

Jana took me to a cute little museum. This museum was based on Erich Kastner, the unknown famous author, who created children's books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although Germans like to think that Kästner is internationally popular, the fact that he is known at all in the English-speaking world is largely due to one person... Walt Disney. Two of Erich Kästner's humorous tales for children—<i>Emil und die Detektive</i> and <i>Das doppelte Lottchen</i>—attracted Disney's attention. In the 1960s the Disney studios turned these two books into the films "Emil and the Detectives" (1964) and "The Parent Trap" (1961, 1998) respectively.</div>

Augustus the Strong was responsible for several of the city's famous baroque buildings, including the Zwinger Palace. During his reign Dresden became an important cultural center, nicknamed Florence at the Elbe. When he died in 1733 his son Augustus III decided to erect a gilded equestrian statue in honor of his illustrious father.<br />

Originally the Zwinger Palace had only three wings, the courtyard opened up towards the Elbe river. After the completion of the Semper Opera House in 1841 Gottfried Semper closed the courtyard by adding a gallery in Renaissance style. Construction of this new wing, now know as the Semperbau, started in 1847.</div>

For almost fifty years, the Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady) was nothing more than a pile of rubble, the result of a 1945 bombardment. Since its reconstruction in the 1990s the majestic dome of the Frauenkirche once again dominates the cityscape of Dresden.</div>

Like all landmarks in Dresden, the Royal Palace was destroyed in 1945. For more than forty years the building stood in ruins, with only the Georgenbau rebuilt between 1962 and 1969. Reconstruction of the whole Residenzschloss started in 1985 with the intention to recreate it as a cultural and museum complex. It was mostly completed in 2006, just in time for the city's 800 year anniversary.</div>

When I arrived in Dresden, I walked from the S-Bahn Train Station to the Four Star <a href="http://www.westin-dresden.de/" target="_blank">The Westin Bellevue Dresden</a> which was approximately 10 minutes. As I approached the hotel I saw flags waving that told me I was there. I was so excited to be staying at such a beautiful hotel with lovely grounds and fountain. It is a manor house near the Elbe River with gorgeous views. As I walked into the lobby, I could see and feel the sophistication and professionalism of the hotels staff. They were dressed impeccably. As the hotel manager came out to greet me, he was polite and helpful. While I waited to check in, he was kind enough to offer me a hot tea or coffee in the bar area. During the month of October, which is a very popular time in Dresden, the hotel tends to sell out quickly on weekends, therefore, reservations should be made well advance.<br />
This Westin is part of the world famous Starwood Group, which has hotels all over the world. This Bellevue is one of their nicest.<br />
<br />
This particular hotel is also part of the "Sleep and Meet" group which caters to business people and event groups who are looking for private rooms or banquet halls to rent out for their parties and conferences. If you would like to reserve space for your company or party, please read more about what the <a href="http://www.sleepandmeet.com/en/" target="_blank">Sleep and Meet</a> has to offer on their website. Starwood has many lovely hotels throughout Germany and continues to open more within the country.<br />

This building is double secured, which means you have your entrance to the building and another entrance to the building where the apartments are located. You receive your own special key card that gives you access to enter both areas of the building. You will also receive a set of keys that allow you to open different sets of doors, depending which apartment is available. If you get the 2nd floor corner unit you have a nice view. On the weekends, there is a cute little bar jazz club across the street from the building where they play music. With all the windows open, you can hear them jamming out. If you would like to purchase food to eat, there is a convenience store right next to the building. <br />
<br />
These apartments are only 15 to 20 minutes drive from the Krakow airport. Wouldn't take long to catch a cab and get to this beautiful place. If you have few bags the train station is about a 20 minute walk.<br />
<br />
Please don't forget to mention this blog when booking your stay at these beautiful apartments. Enjoy!Carlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09862790810039293581noreply@blogger.com0
