Berlin day 4 ... THE WALL and more...

one of the last remaining sections of the old berlin wall. now there is a fence around the wall to prevent tourists from taking a bit of it home with them...


this section of the berlin wall has been nicely "decorated". however, according to the signs nearby, it seems likely to be torn down and replaced with some new structure. look closely, it says "don't destroy history"... it's located near potsdamer platz




the berlin wall remnant at potsdamer platz... plus some tourist posing...






one last WWII sight which according to the guidebook is the location of Hitler's Bunker. obviously the communists did not want to memorialize it or recognize it in any manner. in fact, they could hardly destroy it... they blasted it over and again with TNT, and finally filled it up with sand and covered it with rubble. now it's just fallow ground waiting to be covered over with something....







you might be asking yourself, why did i take a photo of this U-Bahn sign (subway sign in german)? it will likely have little meaning to you unless you are a U2 fan. take a closer look and see what i mean.


at the end of our journey, we boarded the u-bahn to Zoo Station, then took a bus to the airport, where i boarded my flight back home to den haag.

berlin was FANTASTIC - i'd love to go back. special thanks to Fritzi and Sebastian for the wonderful weekend, and special thanks also to my friend Jana. cheers
