Stockholm

Our trip to Berlin

Many people died at the Berlin Wall. Here is a picture of Matthias and I at the wall.

The wall was built by the Soviets to separate East Berliners and the West Berliners. It came down in 1989 then Berlin was put together again. The other picture is of us at Checkpoint Charlie where there used to be a guardpost by the Wall for people to go through.

My favorite place on the trip - Copenhagen

Copenhagen is known for The Little Mermaid. It is a statue in the harbor based on a story by Hans Christian Anderson. But the real reason I like Copenhagen is because it has the Danish Resistance Museum. It has the real Nazi flag that they put on the square in Copenhagen when the Germans took over Denmark in WWII. The gun that is pointing at you right now is called a Moccoson 1847 machine gun. The town looked like a really beautiful park in New York but without skyscrapers. There are lots and lots of boats. We saw this cool jail cell where an old pirate was captured even though he kept escaping. They finally were able to keep him in one cell and he grew his beard really long and mice nested in it.

Some pictures - finally - from the boat trip

This is outside beside the Garden Cafe (where we ate alot) and the white cliffs of Dover are behind us->

<- This pictures is where we sat on outside our room. We had great weather for the first 5 days of the trip!
