As promised, here are some pics I snapped for Day 1, on the flights and the city tour we did on Sun. Day 2 (Mon) was when we visited the manufacture and Ianny and i will share more shots soon smile

Sorry for the delay - I tried to upload this post like 5x in Germany but failed so trying again today in Singapore.



Singapore airlines flight to Frankfurt. Always a pleasure to be back on the plane whether for work or leisure (leisure is a big plus !)




3 Lange brothers in transit in Frankfurt to Dresden, boarding our domestic flight soon smile




A delicious Breakfast on Luftansa from Frankfurt to Dresden




Arrival in the hotel with a warm welcome 




Amazing cocktail we had during lunch 




Our walk around the city begins! Very exciting as this is where it all started for Lange smile





This is where I met August the Strong along with all the regents of Dresden before and after him





The clock tower of Dresden. The clock is rebuilt and maintained by the current Lange manufacture.




The famous opera house 











Impressive interior. The reconstruction story is amazing.






And here we are in the opera house auditorium 




We saw the 5 min clock at the top changed 5 mins a few times here. The clock was rebuilt by Lange for the opera house. The original was also built by Lange along with his teacher/father-in-law in Dresden.





The impressive Church of the Lady Dresden rebuilt. The blacker stones were the original stones from the original church reused in the same location as they were (possible only with modern engineering and tech) 











A stroll along the river.




 What PuristS like to do.... Photo taken by a fellow Singaporean Lange lover. He kindly shared this pic with us smile





A very strange shot we had last night during dinner... Potent ! Poison for the Vlads... :p





Day 1 is ending. Time to return to the hotel for a rest to recharge for Day 2... the visit to the manufacture! 

Hope you enjoy the pics of our mini tour of Dresden on Day One. I will share pics on Day 2 and 3 soon.


Cheers
robin

PS: some of the lovely food we had on Day 1. Thanks to Lange Singapore for feeding us really well! smile
