Day 2: July 1, 2025
Herzlich Willkommen in Deutschland! Here we are, well landed in Berlin. Since the reunification of Germany in 1990 Berlin is again the capital city. Things have been developed since and we saw many modern buildings, but also restored monuments, museums and representative buildings. Wherever you go you are reminded of Germany’s history including both World Wars, the Holocaust and the Berlin Wall which divided the city in a Russian and three allied controlled sectors. After such a long flight everybody was pretty tired. A shuttle bus took to our hotel, from there we took public transportation into the heart of the city for dinner: at Alexanderplatz. After dinner in a typical German restaurant, a quick first impression of Alexanderplatz and the TV tower, before we arrived at our hotel to catch up some sleep and prepare for more adventures. Tomorrow we will meet our fellow travelers from Tennessee and New York
