• Final days

    August 30, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Thursday was hot - 34 degrees.
    We went to the Berlin Story Bunker, which was close by. We saw some of the part that dealt with Hitler's early life and the development and acceptance of the Nazi party. It was good - quite detailed - but we had to bail out early to go to our next attraction. We didn't get the chance to do the part that dealt with the Berlin story.
    In the afternoon, Lon joined us for a cruise along the Spree. It was hot but enjoyable and a good way to get perspectives on Berlin's monuments.
    In the evening, we went for dinner at a Chinese restaurant that did its best to ensure you didn't leave hungry. A steamed fish dish was in the biggest bowl I've seen at a restaurant.
    Now Friday, we are on the fast train to Frankfurt, where we will pick up the flight home. (This German train travels at a measly 250 kph, compared to the 300+ in China.) Saturday will be in transit, including a layover in Singapore and then home on Sunday morning.
