What We Hope to See: Berlin
Here is a starting thing that you should also post about. What we hope to see in a particular place. Basically, pick a place that we are likely to see. Go through the book and see if there is someplace described that you might want to see.I paged through the Berlin section.
Bahnhof Zoo: A zoo and aquarium.
Reichstag: German Parliment building, famously burned down in 1933 as an excuse for Hitler to carry out his revenge on the Jews.
Museumsinsel and Alexanderplatz: A plaza with a lot of museums and a famous church damaged in bombings in 1944, but now restored.
Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedachniskirche: A bombed out church from WWII, left in natural state.
Schloss Charlottenburg: A palace.
Checkpoint Charlie: The checkpoint that once served as an entrance between East and West Berlin.
The Berlin Wall (the part that still stands) aka East Side Gallery
Shopping: The book doesn't have much about places to shop....
Food: The book has a lot of asian/veggie options. I like these to a point, but sometimes I crave real food. Page 419: Orchidee, sounds good, as does Bella Italia. German food? Die Feinback.
Page 430: Daytrips from Berlin: KZ Sachsenhausen. concentration camp.
Potsdam.
