New Years in Berlin (day 5)

So and update from this morning, we did fall asleep in those little cots the maid had made for us for a good 5 hours. When we woke up at 9 we were ready to go out and start our day to explore Berlin. Right as we were getting our stuff together the maid came to tell us they had a room ready for us (perfect timing once again). We went to get our keys and luggage we had left behind the desk to go to our room. Once again our room just amazes me, because we booked them so long ago we forgot what they looked like! So, this is our room in Berlin. 

Huge wall to wall ceiling to floor window and a huge room all together (even though you can't tell In the photo)  and the bathroom is really nice too but all the white tiles remind me of a scene from saw, scary. 

But after we got settled we headed to the start of our free walking tour. It was a mad house and it was freezing and me and Kody talked about just going to do our own thing, but decided to stay and I'm so happy we did. The tour was amazing and we got to learn a ton of history about berlin right where it happened. These are some of the photos we have from the day.

(Where our tour started the Brandenburg gate)

(The memorial to the murdered Jews)

(The left over of the Berlin Wall, excuse my hat it's kodys and it fits me like a smurfs hat)

There was a ton of other things we learned on the tour, but my camera died so we didn't get them on camera. But after the tour we walked back to our hotel, and saw a man get pickpocketed by a women. Then we watched another local grab her by her collar and basically take her to the ground and drag her to the guy who she stole the wallet from. There was yelling in German, looks of confusion and all madness breaking out. It was crazy. But after that we freshened up had an early dinner! And Kody had some authentic German sausage, and potato salad...I got a cheese burger :) dinner was great...also the most we had spent on a meal our whole trip...soooo. After that we wondered around to get to the gate for New Years (basically their time square) 

It was beautiful  and there were so many people they reached capacity at like 3 pm forget that. So we just wondered around for a while and just enjoyed everyone around us and had a few beers. (You can walk with your drinks and they are sold on the sidewalks!) and then midnight happened....I have never seen something so crazy in my life! We videoed it, but I can't post videos on the blog!!! Well we have an early morning to go on a nazi Berlin tour, So happy new year from the future!!

Love,

Jo and Ko
