The end of another vacation. Being some what interested in the history of the Cold War and Second World War, I was looking forward to see the historic sites, museums and off course the Berlin Wall, in the German capital. I've uploaded the pictures to my flickr gallery - and chosen some of the highlights to show you here:

 

AquaDom – cylindershaped aquarium with a transparent elevator in its midst.

 

Checkpoint Charlie – the most famous border-crossing between East- and West-Berlin.

 

Sony Style Store – 55 inches of pure enjoyment in HD-resolution. Only 3,000 € – approx. 24,000 DKK.

 

High-quality donuts.

 

KaDeWe – the biggest department store in Europe.

 

Some church in the center of Berlin. It wasn't rebuild after the bombings during World War 2, which makes it pretty interesting. The tower to the right is a part of the church, although pretty ugly on the outside, the mosaic creates a beautiful, blueish light on the inside.

 

Tiergarten – The Central Park of Berlin.

 

In total: 528 DKK – in average 88 DKK for each piece.

Overall a great trip, very interesting museums about the Cold War and Second World War. Naturally it was also cool to see the Berlin Wall, and the differences between the former East- and West-Berlin.
