Day three in Berlin



Today we completed our tour of Berlin, taking in the Reichstag (Germany`s historic Parliament building...only a two hour line up to get in...glad this is the shoulder season for tourism in Berlin), walking in the in the Tiergarten, taking pictures and enjoying the crowds at the Brandenburg Gate (the former border of East and West) and visiting the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe...an outdoor memorial with about 3,000 symbolic pillars, plus a very solemn exhibition about Hitler´s Jewish victims.

When we leave this Internet Cafe (at Dunkin´ Donuts) we will catch the U Bahn back to Tigel where we will visit a pastry shop for a treat.

Unfortunately I cannot upload pictures here...we have taken about 150 so far.

Tomorrow we leave for Poland and do not know when we will be able to post again...hopefully soon.

We did not get lost once today. We are having a blast.
