During our first evening we did a bit of sightseeing around the local area and beyond. We stopped for dinner in a trendy area (lots of these) and then headed for to a lookout point in a park not too far away. Being fairly well North (Latitude about 52 degrees), the evenings were very long and with very nice weather, time outside was very pleasant.


Most of the wall has been removed, but there are plenty of reminders in the form of displays, and even markers along roads, showing where it was. A lot of the buildings have been restored or replaced, though there is still quite a deal of construction occurring in this central Berlin area.
Although our time here was very short, Berlin made quite an impression on us. We found it to be a very diverse, modern, busy and energetic city, well loved by all those that we spoke to who lived there, and we could see why.
Photos are of our walking tour group near the Berlin Dom, part of the vast Jewish Memorial, Berlin Wall, Brandenburg gates and a street location where we ate.
