McLays in Europe

Arriving at Berlin, perhaps the many shifts of recent weeks was starting to catch up with us. We were tired and certainly looking for a sleep in. We found Hotel room easy after booking it via WOTIF.com It surpassed our expectations. Berlin was too exciting a city to stay in our room for long!
We picked ourselves up next morning and went for it. A city just packed full of marvellous history (well much of it pretty tragic) but so interesting and the contempory influences were just wonderful. We found a city bus and were headed for the History Museum. Unfortunately too many things distracted us and finally got to the museum about 2pm. It was too late to get around it by 6pm when we were asked to leave and Ian continually complained that he only got up to the invasion of Poland! Next day Alison ruled out Ian on going back to the History Museum and we soon became involved in the Check Point Charlie, Holocaust Memorial, Gestapo headquarters and Brandenburg Gate etc etc. We hit bed late again really exhaused and our heads swimming with history.
We both agreed Berlin was a must to visit again!
