Es ist nach Deutschland gehen wir!

I won't tell you what that says - use Google Translate!

After many fun-filled (beer-filled) days in Prague, Paul from Paul's Dog Hotel came to pick up Otto and Nova.  There were off to their own vacation in the Prague countryside.  Check out the site:

Later that afternoon we boarded the train to Berlin, Germany.  We arrived and found our apartment, and course headed out for fabulous German Heffeweizen!  The next day in Berlin we took a bike tour of the city and learned more about Berlin's amazing history.  It was amazing to see where the 1933 Nazi book burning took place and to stand outside the bunker where Hitler committed suicide.  We haven't even begun to talk about the Berlin Wall.

That night we headed to a "dark" restaurant, it is a restaurant completely in the dark and you are served by blind waiters.  What an amazing experience!  Check out the website, we have to highly recommend trying this if you ever have the chance.  you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face!  The next day we visited the museum at Checkpoint Charlie and learned about the many wall crossing attempts during the 28 years of the wall's existence.  We also took a tour of the underground bunkers that were built in fear of World War III.  After we watched a World Cup game and packed for Dresden the next day.

Dresden was a geographically beautiful city with fun shops and restaurants.  But, never fear, we managed to find a brewery with great German beer!  Since it is so close to Prague we will definitely have to travel back.  Have fun looking at the pictures!
