 I must say that I enjoyed my stay in Berlin visiting a friend on my "Around the World" by train journey..and was just so nice to be able to visit many venues i the City with the help of my friend as there is nothing like "local knowledge " when visiting a strange city. So much history and great sites to visit..of course the Reichstag.  theBrandenburg Tor , The olympic Statdium for the 1938 Olymics. of course The Berlin Wall and many others to mention.. Thank you Birgitte for making this possible.

The Brandenburger  Gate. Berlin .:
  This The Brandeburger Tor is a neo classical monument in Berlin built on the orders of The Prussian King  Frederick William II  after the temporary restoration of order after the Batavian revolution. This is one of the best know landmarks in Germany and was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the  road from Berlin to Brandenburg an der Havel which used to be the Capital of the Margriviate of Brandenburg.,  and is located in the western part of  the city centre of Berlin at the junction of " Unter den Linden and  Ebertstrasse immediately west of  The Pariser Platz. and one block North stands the Reichstag Building  which houses the German Parliarment ( The Bundestag ).
    The Gate is the Monumental entry int Unter den Linden ..a boulevarde of "Linden" trees  that led diectly to the Royal City Palace of The Prussian Monarchs.
  The Brandenburg Gate was privately refurbished on the 21st December 2000 at a cost of six million Euros and was the main venue for the  20th Anniversary celebrations of the fall of the Berlin Wall or "The Festival of Freedom" on the evening of the  9th of  November 2009.

THE BRANDENBERG GATE.   BERLIN.

                       

HARD ROCK CAFE BERLIN.

I was really enjoying Berlin but as I had to make my way to England soon now as I was running out of funds, after only receiving a certain amount in Moscow (after I was robbed.) I had to be in England to pick up my new card and funds that had been transferred. I must say I was looking forward to having money again. This was another souvenir card that I sent home from my visit here. There was so much that I got to see thanks to my lovely friend Birgit.., and one place was a day out to the Olympic Park made famous not only by the Olympic Games but by Hitler. A truly great Olympic Stadium to think that it was built way back in 1938. In 1938 This Stadium must have been the greatest Olympic Stadium in the world.The card shows The Brandenberg Gate with Wall in place .
  Another souvenir card from my stay here in Berlin on my "Around the World by Train" journeys.
Posted Berlin : 07 June 2010.. I really enjoyed Berlin..Thank you so much Birgit.
