Potsdam

Today, we trained off to Potsdam, a city just out of Berlin. First impressions were of grand stately buildings. The main event was going through the Sanssouci Palace, a summer getaway the king had built in the 18th century.
It looked grand on the outside but was compact on the inside - elongated but narrow. 11 rooms on show. Certainly ornate but not as opulent as you see in other palaces, which tends to be OTT, if you ask me.
A walk around the expansive gardens and then over to the Dutch quarter where the king built houses for the Dutch artisans he brought over ‐ to make them feel at home.
A walk over to the cathedral and city palace and the heat just about had us done.
Had Berlin doner kebabs for dinner with Lon and Mitch. Yum Czytaj więcej
