Berlin was our second stop. This huge city impressed us with its incredible history and palpable liveliness. There is such purpose in the air, yet it�s easy to find a place to sit and relax, talk to locals who�ve experienced some of the recent history, and meet other interesting travelers.
The other thing in which Berlin abounds is museums. There is a bewildering array of choices, depending on what one is interested in. Some of the most impressive things we saw included the 3,000+ year old Egyptian mask of Nefertiti and the immense Ishtar Gate from the excavated city of Babylon.
A highly recommended stop for any European tour! |
