2017-08-29  Berlin Walk – Part 1

Joyce was still not happy.  Her baggage was day 3 in captivity.

The day started with a stop at the Reichstag building.  Debbie discovered that you could stand in line to get tickets for the Reichstag dome.  (This was a good thing because our tour guide might have dropped the ball.  Clearly, someone should have reserved ahead of time on-line but no it was not allowed once they arrived.  Instead, one had to stand beside annoying teenagers hanging off poles making squealing noises.)    The group was able to score a ticket and Debbie did not scream at mentioned teenagers (They did get the stink eye).

Berlin is a city with many sad and sobering monuments.   Because it was such a sobering and thought-provoking day, the sites visited are listed without our usual comments.

• Memorial to Politicians who opposed Hilter – This is dedicated to the 96 members of the German congress who spoke out against Hitler, but failed to stop him in 1933. They were imprisoned and then became his first victims. Each slate slab remembers one politician, with his name, political party, and the date and location of his death (generally in a concentration camp). Berlin Wall Victims Memorial
• Berlin Wall Victim Memorial – Memorial to victims killed when trying to escape from East Berlin
• Monument to the Murdered Sinti and Roma (Gypsies) of Europe 
• Brandenburg Gate – The Brandenburg Gate is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after the successful restoration of order during the early Batavian Revolution. During the cold war it was in East Germany.  It is often considered the symbol of Berlin.
• American Embassy
• Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe – a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust
• Hilter’s Bunker – Hitler took up residence in the Führerbunker on 16 January 1945 and it became the center of the Nazi regime until the last week of World War II in Europe. It is now a parking lot.
• Unter den Linden – Unter den Linden is a boulevard in the central Mitte district of Berlin, the capital of Germany. Running from the City Palace to Brandenburg Gate, it is named after the lime trees that line the grassed
• Russian Embassy
• Reichstag – The Reichstag is the current home of the German parliament.

The group did stop for lunch at the Mainhatten Bistro (should be it Manhatten Bistro?) where Larry and Jerry ordered the special meat plate.  (Debbie thinks that you should not order something called special meat.  Larry and Jerry are now off the special meat train and agree with Debbie.)

The group arrived back at the flat with no updates on the missing baggage. (Joyce is still not happy therefor the group is not happy).
