Day 2 in Berlin was even better than Day 1!! We went to Potsdam, which is 30 min from Belin and has a lot of really amazing Palaces from the 18th century. More to come on these! After the Palaces we had a great dinner at a German restaurant (I had a soup with a fancy German name that turned out to be suspiciously like a very good chilli) and then we went to this fantastic tradition - the Osterfeuer. This is a big fire that they have in each village in Germany on Easter weekend to chase away the ghost of winter. We sure need it chased away in this part of Europe right now!! You drink a lot of beer and a hot mulled wine called Gluehwein and watch a massive bonfire.
Here is a picture!! Happy Easter Everyone!!
This really looks like a lot of fun! We should take up that tradition at the cottage!
