Today was a museum day. At the Reichstag with its Norman Foster designed dome you have to be subjected to security like going on to a plane. Passports, bag screening, pat downs. This part of Berlin is BIG. The Reichstag is a wonderful viewpoint of Berlin and the Tiergarten. The History Museum is vast. We managed Celtic times to the First World War before defeat. It is detailed, well laid out and the number of items on display absorbing and interesting. Another day for 1919 to the present. We walked around Museum Island saw the three major museums there-again huge. And all the bullet damaged columns. When the weather deteriorates we will make a visit to each. We walked to Kreuzberg-Orienstrasse for lunch in driving rain. After lunch we found the most delicious chocolate store by accident after getting lost and drank hot chocolates as the rain ran down the window. When the rain stopped we walked to Schoeneberg via the canal. It was a lot of walking today. Tomorrow will be back on the bikes if it is sunny. Bikes definitely make Berlin attainable.
