Travelling = happiness

Hello my Friends! :)
What a wonderful thing travelling is, don't you think so?
I would like to share my latest experience with you as yesterday I went to one of the most visited cities in the world - Berlin! It was the first time I have ever been there, and I definitely want to go there again! I went to Berlin with a big group of Poles accompagnied by our guide and we stayed there only one day, but it was truly intensive and full of amazing emotions trip. First, we went to East Berlin and passed the East Side Gallery, where among other graffities a famous painting of Brezhnev and Honecker's fraternal kiss is depicted. Then we had an occasion to see the apple of Berliners' eye - the famed Fernsehturm (The Berlin Television Tower), which is the tallest structure in Germany. Then we visited the Lustgarten, one of the numerous parks in central Berlin, where is situated the huge and astonishing Berlin Cathedral.

 To our common joy, we entered a store of one of the best-known German brands of chocolate - Ritter Sport, situated in Französische straße in Berlin. We were all just stupefied by the endless amount of different types of chocolate, so everybody could find something for themselves!

 After that, we passed the main street of the capital - Unter den Linden, that leads to Pariser Platz, where we could see the Russian (a bit in front of the square), the American and the French Embassies and the most expensive hotel in Berlin named Adlon. Moreover, the square is well-known also due to the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate), one of the most famous landmarks of Germany. 

 Afterwards, we visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, which is presented by numerous slabs vary in height and organized in rows and located near the Brandenburg Gate.

 Later on, we visited the renowned and monumental Reichstag building in Platz der Republik, which now is the meeting place of the German parliament. The building amazes by its ineffable magnitude and grandeur, so there is nothing strange that so many tourists are always eager to visit this edifice.

After that, we also went to Potsdam, a city situated approximately 30 kilometers from Berlin. There I met my lovely friend who studies in Berlin and we continued the trip together passing through the Sanssouci Park with Sanssouci Palace in there, which earlier was a residence of the Prussian royal family.

At the end of our trip we went to the Christmas market in Potsdam, a street known as Weihnachtsmarkt, with numerous cubbies along the street all decorated with bright and lucid light chains. It was truly crowdy as there were many German and tourists who were walking and buying delightful sweet things, all different Christmas toys, decorations and souvenirs. There we had a rest and ate a simple but deliciously prepared dish of roasted potatoes, smothered cabbage and a saussage.
To sum up, in spite of little time that we had to visit all the main places of Berlin and Potsdam, I really enjoyed the trip and the atmosphere of the imminent Christmas that I experienced there!
