Monday, May 11 :: Berlin, Germany

Monday, May 11 :: Berlin, Germany

A big day of sightseeing in a fantastic city. I won`t go on and on but we took in the Reichstag, some underground WW2 bunkers on a tour (very cool!), the German History Museum, and lots and lots of walking and looking at buildings. We must´ve crossed the Spree (Berlin´s main river) about 18 times. All this walking meant blisters for me. Damn.

Berlin is such an easy city to get around, with such great food and interesting old and new things to see, that we both love it - just like the rest of Germany. Accomodation here is slightly pricey - 70 euros for a double room in a hostel - but we ARE staying downtown, which is so convenient. After taking in such a wide swath of Berlin, we can take it a bit easy tomorrow with the sightseeing.
