Europe Tour - Day 7 - Berlin

Last day in Berlin, our train was leaving around 3pm so we still had half a day to see some sites.

We decided to go up to the dome of the Berliner Dom.

Lots of construction going on Museum Island.

Going up to the observation deck.

Inside the Zeughaus which is the older part of the museum.

S-Bahn station at Friedrichstraße.

Back inside Berlin Hbf. Can't get enough of this building.

Looking inside first class of an ICE train. We got pretty lucky that we were the only ones in our car the whole trip.

S-Bahn train trying to catch up.
