Berlin

Day 23

Berlin is very pleasant. We arrange a sort of inn of the youth, a lot crazy, all cleaning and cheap. Already now it stayed the publicity the inn is "the circus". Who looks at Berlin of the days of today sees a city apparently without history such is the quantity of new buildings. But it be thought of the recent history of the Humanity, perceives that Berlin has a lot history and that was reconstructed of the ruins of the 2ªWorld War. We begin it visit Berlin by the tower of the television, high and with a fresh air despite of already be of the time of the war-cold one. It follow appears the cathedral of Berlin, protestant, with a green gigantic leadership. The remainder of the building also is magnificent, as looks to be everything in this land. Afterwards appears to Unter den Linden, a huge avenue with museums of the two sides. A walk by the history and art. To the end of the "street" are the doors of Brandenburg. We go there. The doors of Brandenburg cannot have the grandeur of others monuments but has a barely unequaled symbolism. Soon close by is the Reichtag (parliament). Unequaled in the utilization of the historical facades and an innovative one, and adequate to the new needs, building in his interior. Of another side of the doors of Brandenburg finds-itself the memorial to the Holocaust. For never again nobody be forgot. In the Sony center all the power of the architecture and modern engineering are shown to the world. Of they stayed of open mouth. Arriving to the checkpoint Charlie, point of passage of Berlin western for Berlin Oriental, a series of murals count the recent history of the World. This was the point of detachment between 2 worlds, 2 ways of think, 2 forms of life, that itself came face to face not of a direct form, but by obtaining of supremacy. They are explained a series of events, as the War of the Vietnam, the protests and repressions in the East, the crisis of the missiles in Cuba, the end of the Perestroika, up to the unification of the Germany. Another one of the best characteristics of Berlin are the public transports. In special the that walk about rails. Easy it understand, with big cover of the city, and by what gave for see, not paid tourist, at least the entrance is not blocked. By all the city find breaks of the Wall of Berlin, but alone in the East side Gallerie itself to see grafitis, the drawings, feel the frustration that would be for the inhabitants of the Germany of east will not be able to reach the standard of living that existed of another side. Outstanding. Berlin is a so big city but with an apparent organization, that does envy to barely everybody. Did not it give for go up to the revolving tower of the parliament, but stayed for the near one therefore of certainty that is going to have a near to Berlin such was the impression left. Now we go for Dortmund and afterwards for Amsterdam. To road of Dortmund we pass for Wolfsburg. The land of the Wolkswagen, where without leave of the train we come it manufactures original of these cars. There is a new need in this journey. Already it was the hunger, already was the sleep, and also the heat, but now is the coldness. A little blanket knew well. Who came prepared for the Europe of South, in the Summer, arrive to Berlin or Amsterdam and absence clothes. It is necessary to handle it. It find the hot small farms. Dortmund also already is part of the script.
