2017-08-30 Fourth Day in Captivity

Still no baggage but Joyce has the name of a supervisor.  He has assured Joyce that her bag is in Berlin and they will be calling her to schedule a time.  Multiple phones have been drawn into the process.  Debbie was on high alert as her phone works better than some.  Again – if Joyce is not happy – no one is happy.

The group picked up where they left off the day before on touring World War II historic sites.  Again it was a very sobering day.

  • DDR Watch Tower – This was a Berlin wall watchtower. The solid, type “BT 6” watchtower with rifle loopholes was manned by two guards in 8 hour shifts.
  • Berlin Wall Memorial – Fragments of the Berlin wall along with the history of the wall
  • Topography of Terror Museum – This site is on the site of the Secret State Police and the Reich SS. The mandate is to document the history on the terror, inspire visitors to engage actively with the history and the consequences’ after 1945.
  • Checkpoint Charlie – Checkpoint Charlie was the name given by the Western Allies to the best-known Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War manned by the Americans. (Totally commercialized with actors charging for pictures –  It is insulting to the people that lived through this – just my opinion)
  • Bebelplatz – Book burning memorial
  • Hedwig’s Church – The Cathedral parish of St Hedwig is the oldest Roman-catholic parish of the Archdiocese and located in the center of Berlin. Since it was Catholic instead of Protestant, the location was not prime.
  • New Guardhouse (Neue Wache) – It serves as the “Central Memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for the Victims of War and Dictatorship”
  • Lustgarten – A park on museum island. At various times in its history, the park has been used as a parade ground, a place for mass rallies and a public park
  • Berlin Church – The magnificent dome of the CathedralChurch (Berliner Dom) is one of the main landmarks in Berlin. (This was not visited as it goes against the rule of paying to enter a church)
  • Marien Church – One of the oldest churches in Berlin and is located in what was formerly East Berlin

A few comments about the day

  • No call from the baggage company to set up a time to deliver
  • No call from the guy that was supposed to manage the process of finding the luggage
  • Debbie circled the block like a drunken sailor while trying to figure out how to make Google Maps work
  • Joyce lost her phone
  • Joyce ran back down the road looking for her phone
  • Joyce found her phone
  • Debbie came back from the day covered in a film of sweat from one hot day and Debbie doesn’t sweat
  • Debbie told the bakery lady to give her drei (3) but held up 2 fingers for zwei.  Larry will not let it go.   Debbie was just confused.
  • Joyce tried to find a doctor for new prescriptions (Don’t go there about carrying prescriptions in your baggage if you don’t want a stink eye).  You have to visit a doctor before you can get a prescription
  • Joyce is still not happy therefore  no one is happy.
