Day 4 - Berlin, Germany

Guten Morgen!

This is Hannah and Luisa giving you todays blog update all about our amazing day in Berlin!

We started off with an AMAZING breakfast buffet at our hotel. 














Then it was off to tour the city! Our tour guide met us at the hotel at 9 o clock and we were off. Although, it was a little rainy outside we were determined not to let it damper our mood – after all we were about to go out and see the most up and coming city in all of Europe! 


We saw tons of amazing sites including the Parliament building, Brandenburger Tor, Memorial of the Murdered Jews of Europe, Hitlers Bunker, Siegessaeule, Schloss Bellevue.



After seeing all of those amazing sights, our tummies were starting to rumble signaling it was time for a much needed lunch stop which came at Checkpoint Charlie. We all spread out and enjoyed a nice lunch and did a little souvenir shopping before time was time to hop back on the bus and go see more sights!        
We ended the tour by seeing the famous Berliner Mauer Gedaenkstaette, Eastside Gallery, Berliner Dom on the Museumsinsel.




We came back to the hotel and took a quick shower before meeting up at the reception desk to go to dinner. We went to the famous Hofbraeuhaus and had a typical Bavarian feast, consisting of pork, chicken, potato salad, vegetables, gravy, and of course a yummy berry crumble for dessert! The waiters all dress up in tradtional Bavarian clothing and we drank from giant glass mugs – how fun!













Our tummies full we all piled back onto the bus, exhausted after our exciting long day. Tomorrow we leave early to go and see a concentration camp, then it is off to Amsterdam!


Auf Wiedersehen, Deutschland!
