Berlin: Day Three/Dritte Tag

Third day in Berlin. The day before we just stayed on the bus and saw things from a distance because none of the museums were open. But on Tuesday we could visit inside and see exhibits. After another fine breakfast of bacon and eggs we got back on the Sightseeing Bus and set off see more.

Languages on the guide bus (German, English, French, Spanish, Swedish, Japanese, Italian, Russian). I listened to the English but tried to understand the Swedish and Russian as well.


The Reichstag


A sign in a church, I thought it was interesting that it had Russian.


KaDeWe: Kaufhaus Des Westens. The Store of the West. Very probably the biggest mall in Gemany, if not central Europe. It's huge.


I don't know what it is, but I noticed it in the seafood section so it must be fish...


A bell made completely of chocolate. One of the few things not for sale.


Kjell in front of a "field of cotton" by the entrance of KaDeWe.


Saw this on Kurfurstendam.

Berlins Jewish Museum


Plaque in the Museum.


An example of persecution.


Jewish stars en masse. They were made by a flag manufacturer according to the sign next to it.


Checkpoint Charlie, the old way between the East and West of Berlin.


You are now leaving the American Sector!


The Pergamon Museum. We saw the Ancient Greek and Egyptian exhibits. Nepheriti's head was the highlight.


Lang Lang. Considered the worlds best pianists. We were very lucky to get tickets at the last minute and the concert was amazing. When he finished the ground shook and he came on for two encores thereafter.
