The day wasn’t a good day for us here. Aside from the rain in the morning, I suffered from stomach ache the night before that I couldn’t get up for the breakfast. I was feeling weak and lacking sleep. We stayed in bed a little longer. I started feeling good after taking a shower so we went down and ate afternoon breakfast, hahaa! Leif had brunch. But I didn’t have appetite on food at all so I took a toast and butter and tea. And even those couldn’t get in my stomach. I told hubby that we should go back to the room and have more rest instead. Then we went out again at about 6pm. It was raining so we borrowed an umbrella from the hotel. The we took a walk along Unter Den Linden till we reached Brandenburg Gate. I felt better after the walk, but we couldn’t walk back to the hotel cos it was long so we took a taxi to where the Checkpoint Charlie is. It’s where the allies was stationed when the city was divided from the east and west. The allies, of course, was on the west side. The east had the strongest support from the Soviet then. But now they’ve preserved the Checkpoint Charlie as a tourist attraction and even do a reenactment of how it was before.

Me at Checkpoint Charlie. My turn as a guard.

Hubby at Checkpoint Charlie. His turn as a guard, hehee!
