Walk, Walk, Walk. Stop.

Alex from Discover Tours led us by many of the cultural sites along the Spree River and Unter den Linden. After seeing the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, we continued on to Der Reichstag building, where the dome's walkway provides a 360-degree view around the city. The omni-present TV Tower can be seen throughout Berlin.

A break along the way included a bakery stop for this strawberry-kiwi pastry.

By the end of the day, six hours of walking and walking and listening took its toll. At the top of Der Reichtag dome, Maura and the two Rachels had to lean back and take in a view of the roof. Then it was on to find Bus 100 and head back to the Transit Loft Hotel.
