"This trip was first class from the moment we left Toronto. The arrangements at the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg were world class. The staff made our visit to Hamburg and to this very special hotel a once in a life time event. Hamburg was an exception surprise. The city is nestled amongst canals and featured many interesting sites."
"We found the people so very receptive. While the weather in late February-early March was a bit on the cool and damp side it did little to dampen our spirits. We visited all of the key sites and had ample time to enjoy several local restaurants!
Accompanied by our Rail Pass we moved on to Berlin and Potsdam to sample some of the recent renaissance of Germany's capital. What a blend of history and contemporary architecture! We enjoyed the Kurfurstendamm, visited the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate and embraced the solitude and reflection of the Kaiser-Wilhem Gedachtniskirche. Potsdam, with its history provides an intriguing look at historic royalty. While the weather interrupted our plans for Sanssouci we hope one day to return.
After a couple of days we were off to Dresden which remains one of my favourite destinations. Not only is Saxony geographically beautiful it is teaming with history and the allure of the Elbe. My wife was overwhelmed by the recovery of the Aldstadt and the Baroque architecture of the buildings especially the Zwinger Palace. No visit to Dresden can be complete however without a visit to the Frauenkirche. Absolutely incredible. We are so very fortunate to have seen the patience and commitment to recover this building to its pre war splendour. Dresden is certainly a classic city worthy of visiting and of promotion.
Our sincerest thanks again. We look forward to Christkindl Market 2009 to meet again with our friends and all the organizers of the Market and in promoting Germany as a most fabulous of destinations."

"The trip was amazing and I'd love to go back and spend some more time there once I am finished school. Photo is my mother and I on one of the main streets in Dusseldorf. Look at the really pretty fountain that they have running down the middle of the main shopping street." says Sheena.
