Berlin Day 2 (Part 2)

After we ate at Ka De We, we visited the lego store and continued our bus tour.

 We started with the Beer Bike Tour... NOT!!! Joshua was too young. LOL

 

The Reichstag (Parliament) Government Building. The night of February 17, 1933, is a date that lives in infamy in German history. A fire broke out that night. The German Communist Party was blamed. It was all the excuse that Hitler's troops needed to begin mass arrests of  "dissidents and enemies of the lawful government." Because of this mysterious fire, democracy came to an end in Germany.

 Part of the Wall. A fence had to be put up around it because people want to take a piece of it with them!

 

Trabi World where you can rent one of these East German made cars. Some entrepreneurial soul decided to buy a bunch of them and rent them! In 2008, Time magazine rated the Trabant as one of the 50 worst cars ever made.

Checkpoint Charlie (or "Checkpoint C") was the name given by the Western Allies to the best-known Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War.

One of the bears from the Buddy Bear Project 2001. They are all over Berlin.

Saw so much more and experienced so much but I don't think you really want to know it all!
