March 26:
Today we slept in, which was much needed because Pat is
still pretty sick and Zak and I are a bit sick in our own right. Once we got
going we decided to walk around and take in the sights.
We walked north to the Topography of Terror museum, located right by a section of the Berlin Wall. The Museum was free to enter, a good thing because we left before too long due to hunger since we had not yet eaten today.
Vowing to come back we wandered off in search of food. Food obtained we realized we were really close to the Brandenburg Gate.
We walked to it through the beautiful embassy district and I am sorry to say I didn’t bring my camera. We then continued on to the Reichstag, the German parliament buildings, which are huge, imposing and supposedly the most eco-friendly in the world.
After an undue amount of searching we found the Holocaust Memorial even through it is almost directly beside the Gate.
We walked through it but since it is constructed of larch rectangular stone pillars the spaces between them didn’t get much sun and were really icy.
I fell on my bum at one uncontrolled slip and sent a rather strong jolt up to my head. With myself partially injured and the hour getting late due to our poor map skills we headed back to the hostel. Later we went out for pizza before heading to sleep.

We've seen the Holocaust Memorial before haven't we?
