Day 1 11/6/11 - Germany

London -> Berlin

Highlight

• The BMI Lounge was much better than the BA one, we all managed to go in as well.
• The hotel was pretty nice for the price.
• Topographie des Terrors – excellent museum, Allie was naughty though so we didn’t get to stay for long. I managed to read a bit and saw the pictures.
• Walked and read the info boards around Checkpoint Charlie.
• Stasi Information – Und Dokumentationszentrum, very interesting but small display.
• Stopped off for our wrust Groupon, and to wait out the rain.
• Stocked up on gummy bears and other gummies.
• Gedenkstatte Berliner Mauer – probably the best Berlin wall viewing we have been to in Berlin – you can clearly see the 2 wall system and the land in between. We didn’t get to read everything as we had to go to dinner.
• Very good food and service. Veal was extra tender, hollandaise sauce superb. The food took a long time to arrive again – is this the standard for Berlin?
