Our time in Berlin....when the city had no rooms left! We flew into Berlin around 6:00pm and went to the Tourism Information desk and kindly asked where we should stay that was nice and reasonably priced. Both the women behind the counter began to laugh and said in perfect english "The entire city is completely full!" We thought they were just playing a joke on us, but quickly learned that they were very serious! We tried every hotel/hostel in Berlin and finally after a few hours found a hotel with one room left....the price tag was 300 EURO! We had to take it, since they wouldn't let us sleep in the airport. Although the hotel was nice, it was NOT 300 euros nice!
The next day we got up early and when about seeing the many sites that Berlin has. We started at 'Check-Point Charlie' which used to the only way to get through the Berlin Wall. After we went to the Holocaust Memorial and Museum which was EXTREMELY amazing and powerful! We learned so much in the few hours we spent there and we will never forget it! Above are two pictures, one of 'Check-Point Charlie' and the other of the Holocaust Memorial. Take care and we send our love!!
