Berlin

So it's been crazy last few days in Berlin. It was such a fun and interesting history. We originally planned on staying five days in Berlin, but ended up staying a couple extra nights. It was such a great place to just wander for hours. There was always something to see or do. Many a days were spent looking at the tourist spots then  spending a few hours sitting in a cafe people watching and trying local and other German beers.

While normally our posts have pictures, Callie did a terrible job of manning the camera and would either leave it back at the hostel or forget to charge the battery. So no pictures of Berlin, sorry!

One evening we went on a bike tour to hit some of the bigger tourist spots in Berlin. We biked along part of the Berlin Wall and the saw the building that housed Hitler's  bunker. Half way through our tour, we stopped at a nice beer garden and made friends with some girls from Norway. Since Amanda took up the rear of the tour and made sure everyone stayed together, she was given a little piece of the Berlin Wall. 

On a different adventure, we walked past the location of the massive book burning during the Nazi reign. It was quite interesting and the square that it was in (it's now a university square) was incredibly beautiful. We also came upon another square that's home to the German Protestant church and the almost identical French Catholic church. They are now museums.

Seven days later, after seeing what feels like the entire city of Berlin, we are now in Prague for a few days. Prague is insanely gorgeous and filled with beautiful churches and towers. Hopefully we'll be a little bit better about taking pictures.
