Berlin Zoo with Shane, Whitney and Pat

After the morning walking tour a group of us decided that we would pay the famous Berlin Zoo a visit.  We managed to find the nearest metro station by Check Point Charlie and bought tickets which was a bit of a struggle. After we all successfully had tickets in hand we boarded the metro and headed to the zoo. Not paying much attention when we exited the metro we missed the large giraffe telling us to head left. We headed right, wandering around a bit before turning around and managing to find the zoo.  I had gotten a small 10% card from the hostel so I was pretty excited. Finding the zoo entrance, we joined in the line of people queuing to get inside. The line moved quite quickly and we paid the €13 to get inside.

Berlin Walking Tour

In the morning we all woke up, enjoyed a quick breakfast before getting on the bus and heading into central Berlin so we could enjoy a walking tour. Our walk was hosted by Original Berlin Walks and we went on their Third Reich Tour.  Berlin is full of so much history from World War II and full of some iconic buildings.

After visiting Dresden, our next destination was Berlin. We stopped at the Soviet War Memorial in Berlin's Treptower Park before entering the city.

Dresden, Germany

Our bus left Prague on the 20th of April to head towards Berlin. Our bus would travel through the 800 year old city of Dresden on our way and we were happy to stop for a few hours and check it out.
