Let’s continue our journey where we left off.

Second Stop: Berlin

Yes, it is possible to visit Germany’s capital in one day…a half day to be exact. We took an early morning train from Hamburg to Berlin and hit the ground running.

We’ve only left the house a few times to take walks around the neighborhood and deliver birthday gifts to family members (while saying hello through the window).

These are unknown and difficult times for everyone, especially those working on the frontlines during this health crisis. We hope that everyone is staying as safe and healthy as possible adjusting to this crazy new world.
