Started our second day with a delicious and hearty German breakfast. Including (front to back) jam, honey, cheese tray, lox, yogurt, rolls (left on plate) cold cuts, sausage, sliced hard boiled eggs. Sehr gut:)
On the U-bahn to Berlin.
We got off at Wittenbergplatz. KaDeWe, the 2nd largest department in Europe. We boarded the City Circle Tour Bus for an overview of Berlin. Above is the first continental traffic light which was located in Potsdamer Platz.
A view of a section of the wall covered by murals done by famous artists.
Here at the Brandenburger Tor Marita shared a touching story. She was 29 years old when she could finally walk through the gate from east to west opening doors to many new possibilities. Every time she walks through the gate the memories still give her chills.
It has been a very special day to have had a tour of such a historic city with a family so strongly impacted by the building and finally the demolition of the wall.
Currywurst...... a first!
Looks like you have excellent tour guides. I am enjoying following you through Germany! Safe travels. xo
