August 2nd (sunny and warm)
Woke up to a clear blue sky. We took our time having breakfast and getting ready for our train trip into Berlin. We decided to do the “Park and Ride” from the station approx. 25 miles outside of Berlin. The trip in took about one hour and when we arrived, we had a quick snack at a restaurant before taking a double-decker bus tour.
One thing we noticed right away was that the Berlin tour was much different than the London or Paris version mainly because the city was totally destroyed in WW II. What you see now is a vibrant city with new architecture and massive renovation projects. It really does not have the “charm” of a Paris. We enjoyed the day, bought some groceries and returned to our van for a quiet evening prior to our sojourn into Poland starting tomorrow.
So far, we have yet to experience pangs of homesickness. Looking forward to visiting countries which we have never been to.
