The last stop in Germany is Berlin. A city now filled with character, Berlin has gone through quite a bit over the years. During the walking tour we saw many important sights regarding both World War II and the Cold War. From Hitler’s bunker, to the site of Nazi book burnings, to the Berlin Wall, to Checkpoint Charlie, the city is riddled with historical points of interest from the not so distant past.
The East Side Gallery, a mile stretch of the recreated wall, displays various paintings and graffiti from artists around the world. Here I am on the other side of the East Side Gallery, doing my best to get over the wall. After a few failed attempts, I gave up and walked through the now open gate.
Crazy to think that was next to impossible during my lifetime, just over 20 years ago…
