Museum, Mausoleum, and Church on the Same Road

Walking down Unter den Linden looking at the sights. The day was beautiful but a bit windy and chilly.

 

Ukraine Support in Berlin

This was the only place we saw the Ukrainian flag displayed prominently in Germany. Or France. It's sad.

 

Magnets

Magnets from our trip. Belgium and Berlin.

 

Along Unter den Linden

Berlin City Hall, Brandenburg Tor, and other sites along Unter den Linden during our trip.

 

Berlin Holocaust Memorial

This memorial is close by Brandenburg Gate and about three blocks from our hotel. We walked by it a few times during our stay. It's large, larger than it appears in the photos.

 

View from the Ritz

Our view from the Ritz. The plaza is Potsdamer Platz - a place the wall ran through. If you zoom in you can see a line on the pavement. That line is where the wall was. Now there's a mall and a U Bahn station.

 

Ritz Welcome

We were in Berlin in early October and stayed at the Ritz. Andreas had amassed enough points that we were able to stay three nights. It was wonderful. They put us on the club level, close to the lounge. The staff were lovely and welcoming. And the room was beautiful too.

On top of that, because of Andreas' Marriott status, we received this cute welcome gift. It was so sweet. Definitely recommend.

 

Gifts from Njomza

Leonora went to visit her sister Njomza over the new year.  Njomza got us gifts.  Thank you Njomza!

 

Cologne At Night

A photo from one side of the Rhein to the other. Cologne can look pretty at night, even in bad weather.
