Hi Paul,
First up, Dresden. Beautiful city - worth anyone visiting. Simply amazing how it was rebuilt after the bombing. Love the place. Word of caution - avoid Easter, unless you like church bells waking you up at 4am. I was staying in a hotel right next to the church in the Alt town. Jeez, it was deafening.
Katja has just moved back there.
Slaughterhouse Five - really intriguing book. A bit odd - but a good read.
