Berlin

Berlin, as capital cities go, is not to crowded.  We took the tour bus to start with, a journey time of two hours fifteen minutes, most of that was stationary at traffic lights etc.  Thought it might give us an oversight of  particular locations that we wanted to explore in more detail.  We had purchased a ticket that permitted us to unlimited use of the bus until 14 00 the following day on an hop on hop off  basis. The plan was that we would stay on the bus for the first circuit and then the second time around would hop off, take some pictures and hop on the next bus, seemed like a good plan.  Two things influenced our decision  not to proceed with the plan, one, it was too tortuous, we abandoned the bus about two thirds of the way around, two, it was quicker, and more convenient to walk.  That is what we did and enjoyed it. see the pictures.
