Day 8: 11th June. Berlin.

Today, we made haste to Berlin, the German capital of a unified Germany since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Berliners are an interesting lot. Friendly, outgoing, very hip, and extremely fashionable.

The German capital has no shortage of happenings. All day long, and even all night long, one can find something to fill all of one's senses!

James is accosted by this group of buskers who use Mr Orange to entertain tourists queuing for a lift up the Reichstag Dome.

 The Reichstag Dome must be one of the most photographed locations in Berlin since its inception in 1999. The new design added to the Parliament building was designed by Sir Norman Foster.

Segments of the Berlin wall still remain, officially decorated by graffiti artists after the unification, and are a daily reminder of the recent division this city once experienced.

There was a panorama of a large image, including the history of, the Brandenburg Tor (or Brandenburg Gate), once the symbol of German Division during the Cold War. I purposefully found the right spot and made this image. The actual Brandenburg gate "sits atop" the large banner just in front of me.
