Jim and I both seem to get up around the same time in the middle of the night. By the time we get acclimated to the schedule here it’ll be time to go home. Oh well. I set my alarm for 7am as we had an appointment to tour at the Reichstag which is Germany’s capital building (bottom right picture). At the top there was a glass dome with amazing views of the city but boy, it was cold (bottom left photo). The whole day was a lot colder but we broke it up with stops inside coffee shops, stores or trains. We went to visit the Berlin Wall Memorial and walked are the area. We got in over 10 miles of walking today— including Humbolt University (top photo), some old churches and the Sony Center (where we considered watching Star Wars again but it was playing in English so Jim wasn’t as tempted— had been dubbed in German, we’d have watched it for sure). I’m dealing with sore shins, while Jim says his calves are sore. We went back to our hotel to rest a bit before dinner and splurged on Hard Rock Cafe Berlin — good ol’ American hamburger and French Fries (or onion rings for me). We walked around the Christmas market after but I was eager to get back to the hotel to put my feet up.
