Part two of My Berlin Wall Experience…The following morning dawned cold and wet, jumping on a tram I went to explore the flea market in Mauer Park. Along the way I met a young Berliner who he told me I should check out the Berlin Wall Memorial along Bernauer Strasse. Which is what I did.

I’d been looking forward to going to Berlin for a long time. Everything I’d heard, read and researched about the German capital only piqued my interest…the nightlife, the architecture, incredible city vibe and of course the Wall.I’m old enough to remember when it was torn down and the images on the television of Berliners hugging each other and celebrating are something I’ll never forget.
