18.01.2012 – Wednesday, day 30
This morning we were definitely in need of a little sleep in (8:30am!?), and feeling a little bit fragile we made our way down to check out the breakfast buffet. Of course at the Hilton Hotel they have the biggest most fanciest spread of food and drinks that anyone could dream of.. and of course at the Hilton Hotel they have amazing views of beautiful old German monuments.. How on earth did we afford to stay here again??!
Anyway, it was a glorious day, we did the city tour and saw all the famous sites, berlin wall etc on the old faithful ‘hop on hop off bus’. We stopped and had lunch at the Hard Rock Café, went to the Zoo, and then visited the Berlin TV Tower which stands at over 203m and provides 360° views of the city.
Surprisingly, Berlin is not at all what I had expected it to be. The buildings are all very modern and well looked after, and what was destroyed in the war they have rebuilt as new. So the city is really a new version of the old city. Well planned and coordinated… perhaps this is what the Germans are good at, being in control!
