Berlin

Day 2: Berlin

We woke up after a restful nights sleep at the Crown Plaza.  We loaded the bus and toured Berlin in the morning.

A portion of the Holocaust Memorial with the American Embassy in the background.  The 2,711 cement boxes are in memory of all the Jews who lost their lives.

The Gustapo Headquarters are below the glass on the bottom of the right-hand picture.

We visited the Brandenburg Gate and the bomb-damaged tower of Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church.

After enjoying Currywurst/Pommes/.5 L Bier for our lunch, we continued on the tour bus to Juterbog. 

 

It was here we visited St. Nikolai Church (notice the two distinct spires) that housed a coffer that dates back to when the church sold indulgences.  This was no small collection box as you can see in the picture.  

We're now spending two nights in Dessau and from here we travel to Wittenberg tomorrow.

Sorry we are unable to add all the pictures we wanted, but we seem to have some Wi-Fi issues.  Thanks for your patience!
