Sanssouci park and palaces are on the outskirts of Potsdam. We entered four of the palaces, they are very grand and luxurious and we were palaced out, giving up on the others. Wish we had simply walked around the grounds and visited Potsdam itself. Never mind it was enjoyable.
Two interesting dates in modern history that were a recurring theme. 1945, lots of things ” went missing”. 1988, the start of restoration, ones assume that ,that had connections to the end of the cold war?
We are not history buffs but could not help noticing the British/Germanic connection. Queen Victoria married a German. Their daughter married a Prussian king. Small world.
