Hey lovelies, welcome back! Today I thought I'd share a few snaps about my very last minute trip to Berlin that I went on a few weeks ago! I'm so lucky to have been to some of the amazing places that I have visited this year, Berlin included. Being in the final year of my History degree, sadly I was in my element surrounded by some amazing museums, and historical sites, so apologies for some of those snaps - I'll get those out of the way in this first post!
So, like I said, I started my trip checking out some of the museums of Berlin - specifically the Jewish Museum, the Berlin Wall and the Checkpoint Charlie Museum. Obviously, Germany has an incredibly rich history, and for me this provided a very humbling experience, when visiting in person something which I have studied for years. Walking alongside the Berlin Wall is an experience that will not be forgotten, and it is incredibly difficult to imagine what life was like when the capital was torn apart. The Checkpoint Charlie Museum brings this home, with stories of the families torn apart, and the stories methods which you will not believe in desperate attempts to escape to the West.
There is of course much more to do than just plod around museums, such as a trip up the TV Tower, but I will include loads more touristy stuff in the next post!
Stay tuned for #2, with many more touristy things that you can get up to in Berlin!
Lots of love,
