Museums etc in Berlin
The next day in Berlin, we went to the Jewish museum, and the design of the building is worth the hype. Some areas can be quite disorientating, and the garden of exile with it’s high columns and uneven paving really … Continue reading
A day in Berlin
The train ride to Berlin was not very impressive even though we rode first class (there were more comfortable seats, but the service wasn’t good). We arrived in the evening and got some very good help from the tourist info … Continue reading
