Potsdam; Sunday, 29 March, 2015

Breakfast and checkout complete I headed down to the side of the hotel where the tour boats depart from.

I caught a 90 minute cruise round the lakes that the Havel river forms around Potsdam, each one surrounded almost on all sides by palaces and summer houses, this really was an area the Prussian’s loved.

By the time the boat made it back to the quay the weather was rapidly deteriorating with a stiff breeze blowing and spits of rain in with it, so I popped back up into the hotel and collected my bag and headed on into Berlin.

A quick change off of the S-Bahn onto the underground and two stops south to Stadtmitte and my hotel for the night, just round the corner from Checkpoint Charlie.

After checking in I headed out into town for a long wander without any major plan in mind for where to head to.

I spent quite a bit of time talking, but by now the weather had really started to deteriorate so I headed back to the hotel and had a very nice dinner in the bar before turning in.
