Our trip to Germany

Trip to Berlin second part:

Berlin has quite few places to see ,but in my view one day tour is enough .Some people got 2 days tour and some got Boat trip tour, but in fact I preferred scenic spot in the city in fact.
That is pity nothing that much left from Berlin wall ,just around 2,3 Meters and on the street you can see the sign of the wall everywhere in fact which kind of make this city different with the other cities.



Meanwhile we were on tour we passed by couple of Famous embassies as USA embassy and government building .In fact the classical style of embassies and parliament center was quite eye-catching.




There is a T.V tower near the Alexander square which has a rotating fantastic restaurant on the top. That tower remind me Tehran(Iran) and T.V tower there basically was a copy of this one The guide mentioned that the lift on the tower is the fastest lift in the world.

Another place we passed by was Potsdam which is listed as the world heritage site by UN and it is no small wonder. Include statue and palace and water fountains



the city which was a bit intersting the gate calls” Brandenburger Tor” which symbolized the reunification of East and West Berlin after the fall of the wall.

There is another place which calls “Check point Charlie” where the Stasi and CIA SPIED ON EACHOTHERT AND HEROIC AND TRAGIC ESCAE ATTEMEPTS WERE MADE FROM..
Which is stand for American and Russian tank in 1961.

Meanwhile we were sitting on the bus we passed by a gate inside




Anyhow the are so many places to sit down and have a cup of tea or coffee and some ice- cream and chill out and we were looking for a ice ,reasonable restaurant and finally we got ne and some handy, souvenir shops and I got some post cards and so far changed my money and they back walking stopped on Alexander square and sat beside the fountain and enjoyed the sun shine.
As in Europe people love sitting under sun shine cause they don’t have that many sunny days, opposite of Asia ,as we get distance from sun.

In the evening we decided to drop off the one of local bar and get some German beer .
Around our neighborhood are plenty of bars with cozy, tranquil atmosphere for tired tourists to hang out and discover the local culture as well.
