Berlin

Last night we arrived very late in Berlin and Carrie brilliantly navigated our way to our hotel, the beautiful Westin Grand in the heart of historic East Berlin.

This morning we slept in and began our cursory tour of the major sights. In a whirlwind morning we saw the Reichstag, Brandenbug Gate, Holocaust Memorial, Tiergarten, Checkpoint Charlie and Checkpoint Charlie Museum, and of course the remnants of the Berlin Wall. Whew!

We grabbed lunch and promptly returned to our hotel and collapsed. We think three weeks was about right as we are really tired out!!!

We will probably spend a couple more hours exploring Berlin, but most of the remainder of this vacation will be spent at our hotel pool and spa. Much needed rest before retunring to work on Monday.
