DP on a nice weekend in Dresden!
Friday
On Friday 4th of
July it was finally time for DP’s big annual summer event. A weekend in
beautiful Dresden.
At 12 am, on a lovely
and warm summer day, the bus to Dresden arrived outside our office in Berlin.
This, indeed meant working less than half a day ;) The short, yet comfortable
ride took us to our hostel in Dresden where we had time to settle down in our
rooms before leaving for our first event in a beer garden close to the Elbe.
Shortly after it
was time to watch the World Cup match between Germany and France. Luckily, as
we all know, the game ended up as it should. Victory for Germany, and of course
more beer. The evening continued with another exciting game between Brazil and
Colombia, while we enjoyed some nice food from the various dishes available.
Eventually the evening ended with some satisfied, yet tired DP’ers… at least
for some of us.
Saturday
Saturday began
with a big, relaxing breakfast at the hostel, until 11 am when it was time for
the second trip of the weekend. A nice boat trip up the beautiful River Elbe.
A part from
drinks, lunch and laughs the boat trip also offered a nice view of the valley
and fairytale houses looking like castles. After a nice long trip up the Elbe,
the boat took us back to the port, where we had time to do a little bit more
sightseeing as well as getting ready for the cool and relaxed Puro Beach Club.
At the Puro
Beach Club our VIP lounge awaited. With seats in the sand and a drink in our
hands we watched Argentina against Belgium on a huge screen. After the first game
dinner was served, followed by some more refreshing drinks and of course another
game. It was time for Netherlands vs Costa Rica, a very important game for the
Dutch members of our team.
As if the
evening wasn’t already good enough the Puro Lounge slowly turned into a big night
club, with several different dance floors, both indoors and outdoors. The party
went on, and on…and on until finally coming to an end in the small hours of
Sunday morning.
Sunday
After a few
hours of sleep and some breakfast the weekend sadly came to its end. A calm,
yet surprisingly pleasant ride back to Berlin brought an end
to our summer trip of 2014.
A big thanks to
everyone who took part and made this a fantastic experience!
