Hamburg Meine Perle.......
We started our journey to Berlin at around 7 in the morning. Ater leaving our bags at the youth hostel-hotel, we left for sight-seeing. We went to a museum where there was a display of ancient egyptian artifacts. Among those were the "Bust of Nefertiti", mummies and stunning jewellry.We saw the "empty bookshelf" memorial which was built in order to commemorate the burning of jewish books.We then saw the magnificent Brandenburger Tor (the famous Berlin gate) and savoured on some street food. The Reichstag, the german Parliament was very fascinating as the system was pretty similar to ours with a few interesting variations. Also it was the first time we experienced the rain in Germany ! It was so different from our monsoon! Later , in the evening, we went our own ways for dinner.
Berlin was beautiful in its own way with the classic white buildings, historical events, museums and street performers. But Hamburg had already become like a home for us (which was quite surprising) and we longed to go back . So we slept to the soft melodies of " Ohh Hamburg meine Perle, du wunderschöne Stadt........."
