We visited the part of the Berlin Wall that is still up...known as the Eastern gallery
It was REALLY cold...and someone was a little grumpy...
We were rushed because of the freezing conditions...but it was powerful and moving.
We have visited some really interesting, challenging and historical places since being in Berlin.
Many people lost their lives crossing the wall and it spins me out that Germany was in this way in the late 80's. Last year it was 20 years since the wall fell!
If you visit Berlin I would recommend having a look!
There were also some very interesting messages in the murals!
oh and happy eve of new years eve...if you are in the northern hemisphere that is :)
tell tim to pull his snood higher.. that will make him less grumpy

have you seen the film 'the lives of others'? its brilliant. set in germany in the 80's.
Fantastic pics! Dang it DOES look cold there. Don't know what we're complaining about here in Nepal... oh yeah, no heaters and no electricity for half the day. That's it.
ReplyDeleteBeloved Berlin Wall (Liebe Mauer) is another fantastic movie set when the wall was still up. I think you'll like it!
Keep having fun you guys!
