Postcards From Germany

Here are a mixture of photos I took while touring Berlin, Warnemunde and Potsdam. A few of these photos I took while riding a bus or train. When I'm traveling, there's this desire to capture every interesting place, sign, road or people along the way. Do you feel the same? Anyway, here are a few postcards from Germany:

Ships docked at Warnemunde Port

The red roof houses of Warnemunde district.

The train we took to Berlin.

Berlin Wall

This TV Tower is visible wherever you are in Berlin.

Where are we going?

Reichstag Building

Tower of the Französischer Dom (French Cathedral) one of the buildings at the Gendarmenmarkt.

Konzerthaus or Concert Hall located at the Gendarmenmarkt.

I don't remember where we stopped for lunch, but I remember this basket of pretzels and a lady sitting beside me who can't stop chatting.

Then a big plate of sausages, roasted pork, mashed potatoes and vegetables.

I was thinking that next time, we'll tour Berlin on bikes.

Berlin Wall

Where do I start? 

After two weeks of travel, I have about 1,500 photos, tons of information and wonderful memories. It's a great feeling to forget work for a while. The problem is, I can't seem to find where to start blogging.

Our first stop was Berlin, Germany. Berlin has been on my list for a very long time, and finally setting foot on this city was a history overload. While in Germany, we traveled to Berlin and Potsdam. The highlight of Berlin for me is seeing the remnants of the Berlin Wall; this is one historical structure that I've read about over and over again. Although it doesn't serve its purpose anymore, its historical significance is overwhelming.

As it stands today, the Wall is not a symbol of divide but of unity and hope. Below are the photos I took of the current Wall. Ironically, the remnants of the Wall is now endangered due to people wanting to take home a piece of history.

Checkpoint Charlie is the crossing point between East and West Berlin.

A marker where the wall used to be.

Brandenburg Gate is one of the entries to Berlin. It is also an entry to Unter den Linden, a street lined with Linden trees.

More of Berlin and Potsdam soon.
