Visited a section of the Berlin Wall where many made their escape through tunnels and where a cemetery and church were removed/demolished so that the wall area could be made wider. Amazing that it was still in place in the late 80s.
The DDR Museum provided a great insight to everyday life on the east side. Berliners have put their history on show in very open and honest ways so that all can learn and make their own judgements. The holocaust memorial park is beautiful and solomn at once.
Rach spotted a great wine bar/rotisserie for dinner. The chefs brought us our meals- a great touch.
Wish we had more time to explore this very edgy city that has so much recent history. Very young and old at the same time.
The coolest job in the world/ The exit to the once American controlled section of Berlin/ Holocaust memorial/ @Potsdamer Platz where the Wall once divided the city
