Berlin - Day 1 Too

We arrived at the hotel around 11:00 p.m. last night...long day but a good travel day. One thing is for sure.....you will NOT go hungry on a Turkish Airlines flight!

After a long ride to the hotel with Ibrahim as our driver we arrived ready to go to bed! That being said, Diane, Mike and I had a beer in the hotel restaurant and then headed back up to our rooms.

Breakfast at the hotel was excellent! Afterwards we headed out and got on the Big Bus and did the hop on and hop off tour. First stop was Brandenburg Gate. We also saw the bombed Kaiser Wilheim Memorial Church, the Berlin Wall and briefly went into the Topography of Terror. It would have taken many, many hours to see it all. As it was past 3 and we hadn't stopped for lunch we decided to get back on the bus and ride it back to our stop (#3) and find somewhere to eat.

We all had Weiner Schnitzel and split a warm apple strudel. Back at the hotel we went to The Level Lounge and enjoyed snacks and beverages while playing cards until they closed.

These photos are of the translation of a story that was on the wall of the restaurant. The photo of Diane as I read the translation reflects what we were all thinking!

The day was cool and rainy but we had a great time!
