Berlin 8.9.09

Berlin, beers, boobs, Benz’s, bongs and Berliners. A beautiful place with a contrast of old and new, fabulous food except check point Charlie was nothing much to talk about. Went for a city boat tour of Berlin on the river Spree. Berlin has 1650 bridges across waterways, this is more than Venice in Italy. Since more than 60% of berlin was bombed during the war, the whole city is rebuild, but you can still see the difference between the old east and west. In the night we meet up with Marianne and Jørgen ( Susanne’s cousin) and had a lovely dinner together. Berlin has an excellent system of tram, buses and trains, which we used a lot.

I dag startede vi med kanal rundfart i Berlin, en meget flot tur hvor vi så regeringsbygningen og meget andet. Berlin har 1650 broer, det er flere end Venedig i Italien. Så var vi en tur ved Checkpoint Charlie, også spændende. Så kørte vi lidt rundt i bus og undergrundsbane eftersom vi havde en dagsbillet som dækker alle transportmidler. Berlin er en meget smuk og dejlig by. Om aftenen mødtes vi med Marianne og Jørgen til middag.
