Adventure 36: Berlin

October 25-30, 2011

The final trip with my mom was to Berlin and we took Spatzl with us.

 The first stop was the Brandenburg Gate and then the Parliment.

 The cross walk lights are quite unique in Berlin. I even bought a shirt with the cross walk lights on it.

 Check Point Charlie, the point of entering or leaving the US segment of Germany. Below a piece of wall, and the guard station at Check Point Charlie with fake Americans. I'm guessing they didn't even speak Englinsh.

 A chocolate ship with chocolate covered buildings from the town of Berlin.

This church was bombed during WWII

 The Berlin Dom. A giganitc church in town. We were able to walk to the top of the dome with an inside and outside walk way. This had a great view. Below is the very creepy krypt.


 The largest section of the wall in Germany. One sight was painted in the early 2000's and the other side is original graffiti. I even tried to climbl the wall. It wasn't happening - my legs are too short.

  A walk around the Reichtag or Parliment Dom at the top of the parliment. The Berlin Bears are everyway, painted in different ways.
 These 'cleaners' were actually cleaning Berlin in some sort of demonstration. It was quite interesting. Then we went to a Berlin fleemarket spontaneously. It is always interesting to look at other peoples junk.
Finally we went to a super cute town south west of Berlin to check out a few castles and have a home brewed German beer.
