Hi Everyone!
Today we started out with
a brief excursion across town on the S-Bahn to Alexanderplatz to get
some of those AlexanderPlatz Balls (doughnut holes) that Linda likes.
From there we walked across town past a couple of great sites like
the Hackescher Market and the Neue Synagoge which is a beautiful
building (and also hard to figure out when it will be open for
tours).

We made our way across the river and
stopped in our first museum stop of the day, the Deutsches
Historisches Museum. This museum covers the history of the German
people from prehistory to after the Reunification. It turns out this
was our only museum stop of the day.We went in at about 10:00, and
didn't finish until about 4:30 in the afternoon. It was totaly
fascinating and a a lot of things to look at. If you stopped to
really look at everything, you could not finish in a day.

After the museum we decided to go for a
boat ride on the Spree. It was a terrific day to do the ride. Nice
weather, no clouds, and as the sun is getting ready to go down. It
was a nice way to end the day.

We caught a double decker city bus back
to our Hotel, so we got a great city tour on the way back to our
hotel as the city lights were coming one.
We hope you are all doing well.
Stephen and Linda
Now THIS is my kind of museum. Would love to check it out sometime. And the boat ride would be an added pleasure. . . of that I have no doubt!
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe the weather you guys have been having. Such beautiful skies!!!
ReplyDeleteWe can't believe the weather either. 8 days, one rain shower, and the rest sunny skies. Hope we get weather this good in Rome!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great museum, and so much to see. It is real interesting to hear the history you know, told from a different point of view.
