We've had a great trip! Scenes from our last day in Berlin, a boat ride on the Spree.
The Federal Chancellory on the right - I think I saw Angela Merkel hosting a group outside.
The architects who designed the new government buildings provided a connection on both ends of the complex uniting east and west Berlin - very cool architecture not really captured here.
East Berlin's walk figure - shown on all the stoplight pedestrian signals. After reunification they started to standardize on the generic figure used by West Germany until a grassroots campaign brought back this figure. Now this is the standard and a Berlin icon.
