We traveled from Prague to Berlin on Canada Day. I am reallz glad I went back to Prague as it is a really amazing and beatiful city.<\p>
One thing Robert and I keep commenting on, is everywhere we go, the trasit systems are just so much better then anything we have in Canada it is laughable. We have generally been getting transit passes to move around cities. In Berlin, the metro is huge and reminds me of London.<\p>
Today we went to the Jewish meusum in Berlin which was interesting, more for the feelings about being at a Jewish meusum in Germany then for the content. The content was very good, don't get me wrong, but it was similar to things I had seen before. It was still well worth it.<\p>
From there we went up to Checkpoint Charlie, one of the former crossings from West to East Berlin. We walked over to where there is still a section of the Berlin wall standing. We may go back here tomorrow to go into the meusum as we did not go in today.<\p>
We wrapped up our adventure by heading out to a royal castle. It was a very impressive sight and was worth the trip across town. There were no pictures allowed but we got a couple of postcards.<\p>
Tomorrow I want to go to a shul or two, and I'm not sure what else. I have a bit of a cold so I can't go all day, but I need to keep moving. On the 4th we are off to Amsterdam, and I fly home from there on the 6th. I will try for one more update while still traveling, but as there is not much time left and we only have 1 full day in Amdsterdam, I can't promise I'll be able to fit it in.<\p> |
