Reichstag building

We walked by and considered a tour at the top.  It is free but they take reservations.  Today was all booked up and the first available was 9 tomorrow, plus there is a long wait to get a reservation.  We opted for another time.

Mall of Berlin...

LP12 Mall of Berlin

Many hours of watching the history channel have made this a required stop, unfortunately.  It is kind of like looking at a train wreck -- you have to look at least once...

Berlin wall watchtower
Our tour guide is actually originally from Afghanistan, and was an excellent host and tour guide...
We follow the sites of the wall in this area.
