Berlin Highlights

Prepare yourselves because I'm about to summarize our whole time in Berlin in one post. Don't worry though, there will be more pictures and less words.

We began our adventure in Germany with a 4 hour boat tour (good thing it wasn't a 'three hour tour'... I would have gotten worried).

See the TV tower in the background?



Our captain serenaded us!

 During our week in Berlin, we did a lot of sight-seeing. Here are some of the things we saw:

Brandenburg Gate

A Forest of Pillars - a memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe

Yes, they have stores for these things

Berlin War Memorial

Deutsches Historisches Museum - The German Historical Museum 

Altes (Old) Museum - Pergamon Altar
Altes Museum - Ishtar Gate

Altes Museum - Babylon
Altes Museum

Berlin Cathedral

Olympic Stadium
Checkpoint Charlie

Largest section left of the Berlin Wall

SS and the Reich Security Main Office
Brick embedded in the streets of Berlin mark where the wall used to be

The Reichstag

The Reichstag Dome - GREAT views from up here
From atop the Dome (the closest building - brown with an odd roof - is the Berlin Philharmoniker)

Berlin Victory Column

I must also include all the DELICIOUS food from Berlin:





Schnitzel

SpƤtzle

Kaiserschmarrn

The best wurst I've ever had!
And that's the final chapter in KK's and my adventure :)

We all made it back safe and sound last week and I'm finally caught up with our posts. We hope you enjoyed tagging along and who knows where we'll go next!
