Wayne's & Bonnie's Travels
Today we went on a 12 hour tour to Berlin. It was a 3 hour bus ride each way but well worth it. The ride to Berlin was the 1st we have had on the autobahn. It was fascinating to watch the BMWs and Mercedes fly by at well over 100 mph. Drivers here are well disciplined – they stay to the right except to pass and then return to the right immediately. Once in Berlin we broke into small groups and our group of 14 had the bus to ourselves. Our guide, Preston, has lived in Berlin for 19 years but comes from Astoria, Oregon. He was quite knowledgeable and interesting. I won't bore you with the details but we saw lots of sights such as the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, a section of the Berlin Wall and the Reichstag.
