Today was a light day. Walked to the Brandenberg Gate, then through the Tiergarten, the main central park of Berlin. This was a hunting ground in royal times, but now used by all the people. The students see it today as heavily wooded and tree-lined, but post war it was pretty barren, as the middle historic photo shows.
Then over to the Schloss Charlottenberg, for a wonderful audio-tour of the Baroque ode to the dead queen. No internal pictures aloud, but here is an exterior shot.
That's all for now. Tomorrow is a bit of a mish-mash, and then Friday we are off on a 6-day bus tour of the south of Germany. Full and Fun!
