Day 17 – 13th August 2014 – Berlin

 

Left at 7.30 headed for Berlin’s main train station and all the munzees that have been placed there. On the way we did the virtuals around our hotel and the memorial church. Spent a little time sitting on the platform capping what we could, and then after sorting out our seats and tickets for the next couple of train trips in the itinerary, we actually did something we talked about doing in Bournemouth & London, we took an open top bus sightseeing tour!!!!! We nearly went to get our money back as the promised 10-15 minute wait turned into 30 minutes, but it did eventually appear. It was actually quite hot sitting in top there, the occasional avenue of shady trees where very welcome. Part of the original Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie were part of the tour as well as several other sights that we had already walked to, but it was nice all the same. Got off at Alexanderplatz to get some of the hundreds of virtuals there when Munzee started maintenance and we couldn’t do many, so came back to the hotel for a rest. Out again at 5 and back to Alexanderplatz for a wander around, It started raining and guess what neither of us had brought with us, either of our 2 umbrellas, LOL. Not much rain luckily for us. Managed to catch the train going the wrong way to get home, so we had to change platforms at the next station to catch another train back. Quick walk back to the hotel in the rain, and another late night. We have a long time on the train tomorrow, so will try and get enough of a signal to put the photos on then.
