Hey Ho, Let's Go


Our first port of call today was the Ramones Museum. It was amazing to see the large Collection of Ramones memorabilia there, some of which must be worth a fortune. We spent around two hours there before going back to the Brandenburg Gate to take some photos during the day,

From here we took a short walk to the Bundestag, which is the home of the German Parliament.

Next on the list was the Memorial to the Victims of the Holocaust. This takes up a massive area, and the design is basically a large number of blocks rising from the ground at different heights.

Our last main sight was the Führerbunker. This was the former site of the Nazi Reich Chancellery, in the bunker of which, Adolf Hitler commited suicide and effectively ended the Second World War. In the late 1940's, the Soviets blew up most jf the bunker. Now the area has been built upon, and is just a car park.

We then took another walk to Potsdamer Platz and ate a Bratwürst before heading back to the hotel for a rest.
