205+ Steps in Berlin



Tuesday, 2-19 in Berlin!

Today we visited the Berliner Dom, a cathedral that dates back to Kaiser Wilhelm. Talk about amazing. The inside of the ground floor is filled with gold, and there is a gigantic organ. Our host, Klaus, asked if we wanted to climb to the top in order to see a view of the city. I immediately said absolutely, not knowing the top was over 205 steps away. And the stairs were a tight spiral. It was a trek but worth it! Afterwards, we went to the Bundestag (formally known as the Reichstag), or German parliament. There we had a short tour then went again up a circlar staircase to another dome where again we had a fabulous view of the city. We are pictured there. In the evening we were welcomed by the staff of Partnership International at an evening party.

Can't wait to see some of your photos from the dome in the Bundestag. I wonder how Germany has changed since I was there more than 10 years ago.
