Deutschland

We're in Berlin now, after a looong ride in from Amsterdam. After having slept a ridiculous 12-plus hours yesterday (between the night and the daytrain), we ended up having a ton of energy and staying out until nearly sunrise, which is apparently normal in Germany. It was fun - we met a bunch of Americans and even a Quebecois!

Today we did our walking tour of the city - fabulous as always. Here are some highlights from the tour:

Holocaust memorial in the centre of the city

Underneath: Bunker where Hitler committed suicide

Remains of the Berlin Wall.

To lighten our mood, we spent the afternoon at the Berlin Zoo!

The famous polar bear, Knut

We waited, and waited, and waited until the hippos started fighting!

A crazy fountain in the zoo!
