Berlin 2001


In April of 2001 I visited Germany to see my friend Lisa. While I was there we went to Berlin. Below are some pictures taken on our day trip.

Nowadays there isn't much left of the Berlin Wall. There is a small section remaining where you can see it and get some pictures. It is surrounded by a metal fence to stop people breaking off chunks to take home. Here is two pictures of us standing in front of whats left.

We also went to the Checkpoint Charlie Museum which was very interesting. Checkpoint Charlie was the US controlled check point between East and West Berlin. Below is a picture of me at the location where it used to sit. I am not too positive the white cabin that sits there now is the original check point.

We also went to the Reichstag. Here is a picture of me sitting on the steps. We were going to go in but the queue was very long and it was very cold that day. I think we went and got something to drink instead.
