A line in the street now shows where the Berlin Wall seperated east and west from 1961 to 1989. War protestors along Unter den Linden by the Brandenburg Gate. We had quite a struggle just to get to Starbucks. The Berliner Dom (cathedral) stands to the left of the Volkskammer, both glistening in the setting sunlight. East Germany's former seat of government, the Volkskammer, now a just an asbestos infected relic of the past.

In the middle of Bebelplatz empty shelves under-ground  mark the place where the Nazi's held their first book-burning in 1933. The Brandenburg Gate. Free time back at Benni's, Marc and Zitha work at selling "Original Bobby Cars" on ebay. Looking up at the roof at Potsdamer Platz.

The 365m-tall Fernsehturm at night. Drinks at the top of the Fernsehturm. Study break at Christian's. Then I went to Prague!

Back in Hamburg Karina & Imtiaz, and friends; we went to Saliba, a fine Syrian restaurant. These are just the appetizers... In another room were the desserts. Imtiaz admires the wall (actually there was a belly-dancer video playing!). Imtiaz at home in the kitchen preparing his own fine food.

Meeting up with Kevin before work starts, we went to a huge model train exhibit. Still just a model. Also a model. No, really this is a view from the boat tour around the Alster Lakes in Hamburg. At Karina's; my favorite couch in the whole world!
AND THEN THE TOUR STARTED
...or you can skip the tour pics and go to the family Easter photos from Hamburg.
