May 19th - May 25

We spent a long weekend in Berlin, Germany over Max's half term break. We really loved Berlin, it's an exciting place to be. To make the most of our time, we took a half day walking tour around the city. It was great and we learned so much from our guide.
Here we are at the Brandenberg Gate. Also, since we live in a country that was part of the Eastern block, we were again amazed at how little is left of that dividing line.
Here is a little piece of the Berlin Wall. (This little piece isn't easy to find and has to be protected).
After all that sightseeing, Katrina certainly had worked up an appetite! Berlin is also home to some great ancient history museums with Greek, Roman, and Babylonian art and architecture on display. We also got to experience the international side of Berlin at the Fair of Cultures which happened to be taking place the weekend we were there.
The kids were real troopers, and so a trip to Legoland was in order. We got to see all the main sites again, scaled down to Lego size. Here they are at the Reichstag parliament building!
We were also joined by Uncle Tim who met us in Berlin. We all traveled back to Prague together where he will spend a week with us.
