Checkpoint Charlie - one sight on a memorable walking tour!
Today we went on a walking tour of the city with Original Walking Tours. I would definitely recommend doing one if you are visiting Berlin! There is so much recent history here (Cold War and the Berlin Wall) in which some narration goes along way towards understanding what Berlin is all about. Our Walking tour was truly a memorable experience - we learned about destruction to the city during WWII, the events leading up to the construction of the Berlin Wall, escape stories from East Berlin to West Berlin, and a lot more fascinating things all while walking from one interesting sight to another.
For dinner, we had a very good German meal - veal meatloaf, with mashed potatoes and beer gravy to go with beer on tap! I am generally health conscious when it comes to eating, but I do admit that it feels good to eat manly food like this once in a while!
