So, final post from our trip last year to wrap that chapter up :) After leaving Dresden and the Saxon Switzerland National Park we hit the road again south towards Prague.

After leaving Iceland we headed for a one night layover in Amsterdam. There we planned to check of the Celebration of Lights festival, but ended up missing the ferry. Also a bottle that contained maple sirup which I packed as a gift broke in my luggage, so that was fun to clean. So here just one pic...
