Busy in Berlin

Berlin is big and busy. It has taken us a few days to figure out the public transportation. Even after figuring it out we realized it is not very dependable and it is often late and always crowded.

The city is full of tourists who are just as lost as we are! I can’t imagine how crowded it would be during the high tourist season. It is bad enough in low tourist season.

Here are some highlights of our past two days. We visited 3 of the 5 museums on Museum Island. They have some stunning collections.

The weather is getting colder each day, but at least it isn’t hot!
