Warsaw, Poland to Berlin, Germany

Can I survive this leg of the bus trip? Two stops inside Poland on our way to Berlin prove to be no problem. But another delay at the border, which we were once again prevented from being longer, thanks to Dom, and the pains in the stomach start again. Fortunately, we made it to a restroom stop just after getting through the border.

Onwards to Berlin, where our first stop was the Berlin Wall. I expected a lot more than what remained. It is probably not half the size I expected and has no remaining elements which reflect its significance, at first sight.

Our next stop was at the Brandenburg Gates, which celebrates the Brandenburg family, whose wealth helped establish Berlin as a city.

We arrived at our motel at 8.30pm, only to find that they had been double booked and no meal had been prepared, as per expected. We went back into town and found a cheap pasta place, which most of the tour ate at.

The long bus trip has tired everyone, and we’re all happy to accept a lift home.
