This is another page that I am trying to build on the basis of a few old photos and some very sketchy memories. At one point in my life I used to just book flights to European cities for a few days and nothing else. I'd find accommodation and things to do when I got there. Where were you VT when I needed you?
Berlin was one such trip. When I went it was almost 3 years since the wall had come down but there were still stark differences between the east and west. I would loved to have visited before the wall came down and gone over to the east but alas I was too late.

Very nice and it's great that it is no devided city anymore ....
It's great that the wall came down!! Those big towers do look kind of cool!
Phil,I climbed the Berliner Dom: great! and about TV towers: there was one in front of my hotel! But I do love Germany to travel around by car, have lots of pages.....they are my neighbours so it is quite easy for me to go there! elisabeth
Phil, no VT in 1992 yet;-) And nice old pictures you got there..the opening one is yummy...(hehe,I'm hungry now!)
I think I like the memory pages most.
ah...i see your twin has been here with his SOH.
So is there an Englischer Dom?
I also visited Berlin for the first time after the wall falled down, now it must have been changed a lot!
Hi! 1st General pic is Gendarmenmarkt (I think it's "Französischer Dom" but it looks almost the same as "Deutscher Dom" so I am not sure), 2nd one is Berlin Cathedral ("Berliner Dom"). Hope this helps!
