DAX,

If you special order a Phaeton, they will let you follow your car through the factory as it is being built.

If the factory tour is anything like the BMW factory tour in Munich, you would have to make arrangements more than a year in advance.

I also understand that the VW factory cafeteria in Dresden serves the best currywurst in Germany.

Really Bird? No wonder they are ignoring my requests. Are you talking about the ultra modern cafe Lesage? It was actually our plan to have lunch there after the factory tour.

DAX,

it is a shame that they did not respond to your emails. It made me going there today and asking how this could happen. The young lady at the reception was very sorry and said this is an exception. Hm.

I also asked if tours are available on April 19 and yes, they offered to join the tours at 5 or 6 pm. Since I haven't been on this tour before I took the chance and reserved for 6 pm for two persons.

If you think this tour at 6 pm would fit in your plan I could pass on my reservation to you (assuming it's you and your son, 2 p.). I could go sometime later. My email is ibrenn (at) web.de Or you can call them for reservations at 5 or 6 pm. Tel. is 01805 - 896268

However, it is also worth to go there w/o joining the tour. You can see something of the production and there are also interesting multimedia installations.

Ingo,

I noticed that the Lesage offers a Sunday Jazz Brunch. Any experience? (I'll be in Dresden on Mother's Day, which might make it hard to get reservations.)

If you don't mind, I would like to e-mail you with a few more questions. Let me know if that would be OK. Thanks.

Bird

Bird, feel free to email me with more questions!

No experience with the Sunday brunch, sorry. But you can expect that both food and Jazz are excellent. My colleagues ate there several times on business occasions and were very pleased everytime.

Hello Ingo, I just send you another email. See you at the Weinkontor.
