Hello everyone.
After a bumpy flight to Washington, a two-hour tarmac delay in DC due to thunderstorms, and a five-hour wait in Frankfurt after we missed our original connection, I am happy to report that our group finally arrived safe and sound in Berlin. We checked into our hotel in the charming Nikolaiviertel (pictured above) and then enjoyed a quick dinner nearby before heading back to our rooms for some much-needed sleep. Tomorrow our adventures will begin in earnest, starting with our first glimpses of what remains of the Berlin Wall.
For now all the best from the German capital!
