This post will cover two days in Berlin because I’m a little behind in the blog and I wasn’t able to do as much as I wanted to due to my knee injury.
In the early morning I went to see Checkpoint Charlie, the famous American Checkpoint between Soviet controlled East and American/British/French Controlled West. There’s really not much in the large intersection except for the checkpoint and the sign of the american soldier on the East side and a soviet soldier on the west side.
After this brief visit I walked up the block a ways for breakfast and to checkout the Gendermanmarket as square with a music hall and a church.
I went down into the subway from here to see the Holocaust Memorial and Tiergarten Park.
Right outside of the Tiergarten is the Reichstag so I went there next but on my way I found the memorial below to fallen soviet soldiers from the Battle of Berlin
As the day ended I visited the National Gallery and the Brandenburger Gate, a traditional through way from west to east.
The national gallery was good I would have liked to have spent more time at it. I have found throughout this trip that I really enjoy the galleries, It’s something different to see in reality world renowned artwork. the works often depict life or at least what people were thinking about at the time of their creation, its a fascinating retrospection.
The following day I went off see the East Side Gallery. A fragment of the Berlin Wall that depicts graphetti about peace and the reunification of Germany.
Following the East Wall Gallery I walked the waterfront for a time and picked up a really good burger at the Burgermeister, a burger shop underneath the subway. In the evening I went to see The Dead Don’t Die at a small theater near where I was staying. It was a really cool little theater in a traditional Berlin building.
As with all the cities I’ve visited there is much I’d like to still see and do. I would certainly revisit Berlin especially to see some of more Museums, I’ve got to remember museums close on Monday’s!
