Got up at 8:00 and walked back ro Fat Tire Bikes and we rented bikes for the day 10Euros. A great way to get around Berlin as it's so flat. We rode through the city like we owned it and covered a termendous amount of ground. We saw an amazing monument of the Berlin Wall outside the touristy area. We got to see the non-tourist side of Berlin and I really enjoyd the ride around the city. I got some great video of Joey-Lynn riding through Check Point Charlie.
We have read and seen alot of the atrocities the Nazi's did, read stories of people being killed trying to escape East Berlin. It has all left me feeling very sick and emotional at times. I think I have had enough. I can't feel sad like this too much longer. There has been more than once I was close to a meltdown on this trip. The hardships people have endured I cannot imagine.
We also climbed the Victory Monument. It was pretty tough as there were over 250 steps to the top but the view was spectacular. Well worth the 3 Euros and the work though.
Riding through the park was cool, Berlin has so many wonderful parks close together.
We ate supper tonight at a restaurant near the Dom on the Canal..... I had Indian Chicken Tikka and Joey-Lynn had Buttered Chicken.... it was so good. It was a great way to end the trip.
Berlin ended the night with an unbievable thunder and lightening storm.... We had to run home and dodge the rain. It was really something else.
We finished with beers and crib..... we have to get up at 4:00AM for our flight. The boys skunked the girls and nearly skunked them the second hand.
