For the second part of our holiday we went form a beautifully warm and relaxing Kefelonia to a not so warm and rather fast-paced Berlin.
We mainly went to Berlin because my brother doesn't like "hot" holidays AND he was studying about the war in his history class so we thought it might help him to visit the places where some of it went on.
There was a lot to see in Berlin, and it is a really spread out city, meaning you need to get a train or bus to get round it all. One of the best views of the city was right outside our bedroom window from which we could see the Berliner Dom. That building was beautiful both from both the inside and out.
I really enjoyed Berlin... Not as much as New York, the atmosphere wasn't the same, but I would definitely go back. There is SO much history in Berlin which is interesting but really quite emotionally draining. The Jewish memorial, while... can I say fun? (playing hide and seek seemed to be a favourite with young children) on the ground is extremely moving and emotional when you go down to the memorial museum below.
If you go to Berlin I would recommend getting on a bus tour. Mainly so you don't have to walk everywhere but also they give you a lot of information on the sights as you are going round the city.
ALSO try currywurst... YUM!
