Potsdam

The New Palace

Having seen a lot of the can't miss attractions in Berlin, we decided to do a day-trip to nearby Potsdam today.  After a little over an hour on the train, we arrived and set out to explore Potsdam on foot.  We managed to see quite a few interesting sites, with the highlights being the Sanssouci and the New Palace.  This was a lot of walking though - the two palaces are opposite ends of Sanssouci Park, and since there is a clear path to the other palace it looked a lot closer than it actually was! We probably walked over 2 miles just to get to the other palace.  All in all, another good day of sightseeing.
