Berlin

20 Nov – 24 Nov, 2005

What an amazing city Berlin is. Third time here, and we could still entertain ourselves so easily, with dozens of things left for another time. Some were new sites, some were things we have not got around to in previous visits, and some were things that we could not help but see again.

Highlight sites for this time round: controversial, yet amazingly powerful, recently opened Holocaust Memorial; fantastic exhibition at the Guggenheim; the glass addition atop the revamped Reichstag; Russian war memorial at Treptower park; the Berlin Wall Documentation Centre.

We stayed with Sonja, a friend we met in Argentina. And we also managed to catch up with Sharon, a friend from church from Melbourne, currently in her third year living in Berlin.
