First night in Dresden

I just arrived in Dresden and I'm so happy to be outside of Stuttgart. I ended up finding a ride to Dresden for only 25€ through a ride share with a Polish couple (the guy was there for a translation interview), a lady from Ukraine going to Nürnberg and a guy from Cameroon studying Agriculture in Stuttgart and visiting a friend for a month in Dresden. Collectively, we spoke Polish, Ukraine, English, German, French and Spanish. The ride was great. I was extremely nervous too. Everything worked out perfectly. They were super nice, drove fast and it was so diverse! I'm happy I did it. Plus, it saved me 105€.

Also, I recalculated. I only lost 65€ yesterday from my wallet. Not bad at all. I also opted to cut out Baden-Baden and the many days in Köln and Düsseldorf. Instead, I switched those days to more time in Berlin, which I'm sure is where I'll need it. Instead, I'll be taking a 69€ sleeper train to Amsterdam. Those DB Fahr tickets are amazingly helpful. If I have time, I want to use them to purchase my super cheap ticket from Köln (or Düsseldorf) to the Frankfurt airport.

So, I arrived in Dresden. Looks like a nice town. Wish I had more time to explore it. But I hardcore want to go hiking tomorrow. Maybe I'll wake up early and walk around? Or do that when I get back. It stays light here till about 9:30pm, so it definitely seems do-able. Going to go try and find the common room in this hostel. It's so clean!
