Wednesday 21 October

We get up and have breakfast and I FaceTime with dad and my grandparents. It's Malcolm's 30th and I give him a little music box that plays happy birthday. Then we head to the tower to catch a tour bus. But it turns out there are a few, so we pick one that suits us. The first route we do is a little long and boring, but a few important things-like the old Berlin Wall memorial. The second route after lunch is more interesting and we see the gate, parliament and holocaust memorial. The holocaust memorial was well done, but really just horribly terrible. And to think that it really wasn't that long ago. It's beyond comprehension. Europe sure has it's horrible histories. After getting back to the hostel we just enjoy dinner at the bar and then go in search of apparently the best ice cream ever. But when we get there, all there is is gloves. Not quite what we were after. Well shower and bed I guess it is.
