Tue, Jun 9 to Berlin

Got online to blog and upload pics. I'm catching up on previous days. We haven't had much time and have to pay for internet :0

We are heading to Berlin on a 2:15 flight but hoping to leave 2 bags behind until Friday.

I've got to pack, check-out is in half an hr (10 am).

It's now 8:30 pm and we're calling it a night, meaning we're going to bed early.

We left most of our bags in Copenhagen and went off to visit the Museum of Danish Resistance.


This is NOT an outhouse.... Here's Tom trying to get into the armoured shelter provided to the guards at Ameilanborg Palace (where the Danish Royals live) during WWII - I really don't think he'd fit.

It was chilling to see real Nazi uniforms & flags and actual clothes from Danish Jews.

We arrived in Berlin although going through security at Copenhagen was weird. I had to take everything out of my pockets & take off my money belt...why wear one if I have to take it off? I set off the alarm anyway and had to be frisked - and they found a receipt and luggage claim tag in my pocket! Good thing they found that, it's dangerous... but we didn't have to take off our shoes.

We took the bus to the Zoo stop and then wandered around (in the rain) looking lost while we got our bearings. Our hotel is very nice and they have robes & slippers - which I love.

Food prices are much more reasonable and tax is only 19%. We had dinner & dessert (warm apple strudel w/ ice cream) for only $27.

We have "free" internet, so I'll add pics to my blog too. Hope you're enjoyed our vac - we are!
