Return to the hostel for celebrations




On our way back to the hostel we took in some of Berlin's historic attractions: Checkpoint CharlieGendarmenmarkt with its two beautiful cathedrals and the Schiller Theatre, Bebelplatz where the Nazis burnt books, the Neue Wache memorial to the victims of war and tyranny, and the Berliner Dom, Berlin's main cathedral, before heading to Alexanderplatz to get the U-Bahn back.


Having enjoyed a tasty evening meal we capped it off with birthday cake for Fergus, who very kindly arranged to have his birthday during our time in Berlin.
