Day 24: walking Berlin

The walking tour= really good except it rained all day :( Berlin has had a history. My gosh from hitler to stalin to communism and the wall. Ill relay a little story that rob (our guide) entertained us with: there once lived a couple who were very much so in love. When the Berlin wall was built they were separated as she was from the east and him the west. One day the man was walking the streets of the west when he saw a woman that looked exactly like his ex girlfriend. He approached her and asked her out for a drink. They start hanging out a lot and become an 'item'. After a few months the man asks his new girlfriend if she would like to go with him to see their families who were left behind in the east. For the west side were allowed to visit the east if they had passports/ enough money but the east were strictly not allowed to cross to the west. The girl thought this was a wonderful idea so when they had saves enough money, they go their passports and went for a trip over to the east. As they were driving around the man opened the passenger car door and pushed the woman out of the car, swung the car around and picked up his old girlfriend from the street and sailed back over the border with their passports! Romantic or an asshole? That night i set up a bit of a physio clinic for the injured, weary travellers. Then we cooked up a storm and chilled out with a pack of cards.
