We walked around and found the Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral), Protestant of course! - Those Hohenzollern's!











The two intrepid backpackers proud as can be after their night in 'East' Berlin...












The Berlin Olympic Stadium where Jesse Owens made the 'magic' happen back in 1936! He showed the world and Hitler (I still remember the 'film' showing Hitler 'surprsingly' stand up and then hit his knee with a paper because his Aryans were being beat by some black guy from the States.) that Germans weren't the best, at least at running ;) Sadly, he returned to the States only to be treated as a 'race traitor' by the blacks and discriminated against by whites - tragic to say the least...






This is the inside of the new multi-billion Euro Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof, or Hoppenhoff as Sarah liked to say). This is right after I saw them leave on their train to Prague - the whole place seemed 'eerily' quiet after they left. Come back T-Sarah!







I am hoping that this is art from World Cup, because I would hate to think that this was just modern art they decided to put in front of German government buildings. Notice the girl on top - they're UUGE!







Here is the outside of the Hoppenhoff (per Sarah of Medicine Hut, sorry I mean Hat! ;)













Here are just a few pics from the rest of the day. Okay, here is a 'German is semi-easy some of the time' lesson: 1) What does Onkel sound like? If you said 'Uncle', good job!; 2) The 's' just makes it posessive so Tom's; and 3) take away the 'te' and ignore the dots. What does that spell? HUT What is another word for 'hut'? Cabin, true dat! So...Uncle Tom's Cabin....interesting eh?




Am I in London?! This is what London Underground station signs look like, but the Tube folks gave this one to Wittenbergplatz back in 1952.
