Day 3 Thurs July 12

Up for the buffet breakfast at the hotel.  Then off to the infamous Berlin TV tower to find "Fat-Tire" bike tours.  I had about 4-5 hours of a group of 24 with Jules our Canadian guide.  We must have biked about 4-5 miles and stopped and discussed 12-15 different sites.  A great way to see the city, if you  like cycling. It became very apparent that Germany had been a wonderful society that had made a bad decision...WW I which had resulted in the absolute devastation and ruin that befell Germany for the next 70 years.  What is amazing is to see how they have rebuilt their society as they are now the economic leaders of Europe.   Berlin is now a lot like Paris, but a third the cost.  Had dinner at the oldest Restaurant in Berlin.  Sat at a wooden bench and washed my crispy pork belly down with a .5l of Berlin's finest pilsner.  Quite tasty, although I will never order it again.
