Hauptbahnof Mitte

Today involved a visit to the East side gallery, a remaining portion of the Berlin wall dedicated to murals. A nice place for a stroll on another cold day. Visiting the 'memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe' was the sombre second half of the day. The information presented as nothing new to me, but the pictures were quite powerful, as was the memorial itself: thousands of coffin-like slabs of varying heights arranged like an unburied cemetary. A friend tipped me off to visit an old Nazi-era airfield that has been re-claimed as a park, which will be tomorrow's excursion. It looks like to Copenhagen from here on Monday. Cheerio!
