Hallo everyone!
We took a (horrible) Ryanair flight from Edinburgh to Berlin on Monday morning, but it’s been easily forgotten by the great time we’ve had in Germany’s capital. We’ve spent the past 4 days exploring the city and both know we want to come back- it’s an amazing place.
We did a little of everything, trying to cram as much touristy and non-touristy stuff in as possible: Brandenburger Tor, the Jewish memorial, Unter den Linden, the Tiergarten; visits on ‘Museum Island’ to a few of the amazing antiquities museums; drinks at a Bier Garten; a bike tour of Potsdam; swimming in Schlachtensee, and much more. It’s been great, if only we had more time!
We’ve been lucky enough to stay at good family friends’ apartment in the city, which made the trip even better. We cooked dinner for ourselves for the first time in 3 weeks Tuesday night. Very strange.
Tomorrow we catch an early morning ‘InterCity’ express train to Amsterdam. So until next post(card), auf wiedersehen!

Josh,
How was the air tea? Pretty elegant little tea house! Are the bikes Eva’s? Great that you can bike around. Excellent to hear from you! One question – what is the significance of the Brandenberg gate? I have no knowledge of German history.
Take care – have fun in the Netherlands!
love,
Sandy/your mom

Meg and Josh, I get jealous every time you post a new postcard! Everything looks amazing. Em and I are looking at going to Italy possibly in October. I wish we could travel all of Europe. Have fun and I look forward to seeing you when you get back.
