Well as you can see by the images one of our stops today was the Dome on top of the Reichstag Building. After going thru all the security to get into the building, you can get a good view from inside the dome of the city.
One of the other places visited today was The Holocaust Memorial, a monumental field of stelae, a labyrinth for the visitor to walk through, consisting of 2711 grey concrete stelae of varying height. The memorial commemorated the 6 million European Jews that were victims of the Holocaust. Underneath it all there is a information centre, where you can search the names of those who the memorial has been built.
Around lunchtime, we started to walk down to Checkpoint Charlie, but we didnt get there, we found ourselves eventually around the Museum Island, and also some interesting galleries of art photography. So you can guess that our little side trip became slightly longer than anticipated. Also of note there were not too many other tourists around taking snaps in front of "must see' objects and places.
