Sunday, May 10 :: Berlin, Germany

Sunday, May 10 :: Berlin, Germany

Another sequence of trains had us passing through old East Germany and in to Berlin`s giant central train station around 3pm. After checking a few hostels we found one that had a double room for us... we settled in quickly, then set off for a bit of sightseeing. Already tired, we didn´t get too far, but managed to take in the Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Berlin Wall. A good start to a great city.

Checkpoint Charlie, recreated to when my Dad passed through in the 60´s (sort of)
