Finally

Gluten tag! Well, we have made it finally to an internet cafe! No photos from here yet - we have taken plenty.
We got here on Wednesday - and since then have done lots of tourist types of things - Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp - it was about one hours train ride outside Berlin - it wasn't as confronting as we thought it would be - apparently many of the gruesome photos were removed from the museum sites - however there were still plenty of things to make you think about life - and how horrible it must have been to belong to a minority group at this time! yikes! so to counteract the horror of the camp we met up with friends and enjoyed a few icey cold ales and some Indian Food for dinner! Being summer here, it stays light til around 10pm! People are out and about all the time - they are all very friendly and don't mind us bumbling Aussies speaking in broken German... well, that's me - sue can speak the language quite confidently! I've got to say that the public transport system here is fabulous! Trains every 10 minutes and buses running constantly .. so easy to get around!
Today, we made our way into the city and have seen other war time memorials like The Brandenburg Gate and Check Point Charlie as well as the remains of the Berlin Wall - great history - there are fantastic monuments everywhere - it is actually fabulous to be sitting down - my feet are killing me.....
tomorrow we are going to a festival called Christopher Street Day - so more soicializing with the Berliners - the food here is fab - particularly bakery items - yummy...
Til the next installment - auf Weiderzein
