My backpacking trip! At first I am going to be heading into Berlin and I’m going in a hotel in Pancow The details are:
 * Hotel - Business Hotel Berlin **

$65.00 per night Pasewalker Str. 97 13127 Berlin (Pankow) It seems like a reasonably nice place and if very affordable as I am just on a packbacking trip I don’t need to spend thousands on a hotel. I visited Checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin Wall, Museum Island and Brandenburg Gate whilst I was in Berlin.

    I went and saw Checkpoint Charlie on my first day in Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie is now on display in the open-air museum of the Allied Museum in Berlin- Zehlendorf. It was very interesting to see what was once such an important place for people to cross the border in Germany. Day 2 I decided to go and visit the Berlin Wall and Brandenburg Gate. The Berlin Wall was opened on November 9, 1989. The walls colours have faded since it was first built but it was still worth going to see. I found Checkpoint Charlie’s history more interesting though! Brandenburg Gate is very pretty. I love all the patterns on the columns, I went and saw it at sunset so it looked very pretty in the darker sky.

Day 3 – Museum Island! The museum island had some very interesting art and science. My favourite museum was the Bode Museum, which was the second last museum to be built on the island. I found out that the Museum was orignally called the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum. I am not a very big fan of Museum's so I found it a little boring.

Day 4 - Heading across to Bremen. In Bremen I will be visiting Parliment, The Bremen Town Hall and St.Peters Cathedral.
