Berlin - poor, but sexy
... about dusk in Berlin, again no one complained because it had been such a fun and informative afternoon. Some of the highlights:
Museum Island – this is right near Alexanderplatz, which is the train station that the tour started from, and so quite near the centre of Berlin. There are 5 major museums, as well as a lot of other buildings, some of which have been around for hundreds of years and survived the war periods, surprisingly enough. A huge amount ...
