Headed back

I had an adventure this morning biking I to Berlin to go to the reichstag dome. It's the parliament building in Berlin that they have re built after the war. 

I had thought it would be a great thing to get up high and see Berlin but it was hardto see much of the city. It was a cool audioguide that touched on some information.  It was well done as you walked through the moder dome at the top though the views were hard to see through the dew on the windows. 

Ilmore than anything, the history of this country is fascinating. 

So much to learn and remember. Such a tough history with wwII and then the splitting of east and west Germany. 

Sheesh. The photos at the reichstag were impactful showing demonstrations of thousands of people. 

There is lots of construction happening in the downtown area making it challenging to maneuver on my bike. You also see this water piping above ground that Ivy had pointed out to me. 

They painted it pink and blue. It looks cool but is hard to really capture in these photos. 

I returned my bike missed saying bye to one of my awesome hosts and headed for the airport.
