Things seem to be going at a lickety split pace, so here’s the overview of Berlin:
– Arrive by Train on Saturday – take it easy. Dinner out and about (CurryWurst isn’t that great, IMHO), visit KaDeWe (Kaufhaus des Westins – the largest department store on the continent), quick rides around town. Sunday, take the 100 Bus and follow walking tour: Reichstag (German Parliament Building), Brandenburg Gate, Follow the Wall (where it used to be), Checkpoint Charlie, Pariser Platz (Square), Alexanderplatz, dinner and bed. Monday: Grey Day – German History Museum, Lunch on top of the Reichstag, more East Berlin, back to hotel to pack, bed. Tuesday morning 4am wakeup for 4:30 train to airport for 7:15 flight (could have caught the 5am with no problem, but wanted to make sure I wasn’t late…).
More details later! And coming soon – London and Paris!
