That would be pretty cool, but perhaps like a He 111 flyover London it might be frowned upon.

Pics have to wait gents as I don't have a computer here to upload from my camera. Colditz was great. Really something to go to if you have the chance. The castle is impressive and the long tour is great. By no means a disappointment. I think I will start a separate thread for that later.
We decided to drop the Sachsischer Schweiz. We're a bit tired of driving around, so we decided to walk around in Dresden instead.
Edit: a picture from my friend's cellphone. It is me standing in the gate of Colditz castle, taking one of my many photo's

Okay guys, I'm back. I have to sort out my pics from Colditz and also want to make it into a thread of it's own. I got nearly 200 photo's of the castle and surroundings, so I will do that later if you don't mind.
Below some pictures I took on the Mohne dam. Nice place, spend about an hour there.

Thanks for the tip. I did visit the greenroom and it was great. The jewellery and golden objects were great and the details on some of them astonishing. I also loved the knight harnasses in the other room.
Dresden itself looked old with a slight touch of Disneyworld in it. The buildings look old but inside they are modern and made of concrete. While the outside is beautiful restored, I can't help the feeling that they try to hide the tragedy. Something like the Gedachtnis Kirche would have been better I a good touch. Nevertheless, the city is well worth visiting.
