Binder Family Travel Adventures

Today we had a tour guide meet us at our hotel and show us all around town. We went to Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Berlin Wall Memorial, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the site of Hitler’s bunker (which is a parking lot now). Our guide Jan was very informative, had several stories, and even showed us things like the hotel where MJ dangled the kid off the balcony back in the day (I didn’t realize that happened in Berlin).

After our tour, we still had time so we continued to explore on our own.

Berlin was a great city to visit. It is large and clean, the streets are straight, and it is not as crowded as other cities on our trip.

We bought German chocolate to bring home (in addition to the pounds of Swiss chocolate we already have), and ate gelato one more time, which sadly may be our last for awhile (unless we get some tomorrow afternoon before our train).
