Day 4 - Berlin

Took plane from Copahagen to Berlin Schonefeld airport. EasyJet.. probably the best budget airline of my trip so far =) spacious leg space, with good pilot; taking off and landing was superb!! checked into our hostel, Meininger City Hostel; cheap and good! 10 Euros per nite! Went for free day tour of Berlin! should check out sandeman's new europe free tour if u are touring europe! it provides free tour in some major european cities and you realli get to see lotsa things around the city=) here goes the photos...















Brandenburg Gate.. beautiful and majestic =)















Holocaust memorial..












portion of Berlin wall =)






































churches.. one's a protestant church, the other a catholic church.. both faces each other due to political and societal pressure or some sort.. both look rather similar though =)




















Neue Wache - For 100 years the palace guards were based here, but now it is the German Memorial to the Victims of War and Tyranny











Museum island.. a very beautifully designed building.. by some famous sculptor.. hehe
