Chapter 4 - Berlin - Before Our Northern Tour Starts

Day 9 - Wed, June 17th, 2015

Tonight we start our Insight Vacations tour of the Northern Capitals and Russia. We moved hotels today and settled into the Swissotel in the west of Berlin. Only a 10 Euro taxi ride from our old hotel and a little bit swankier.

Since last Saturday evening when we flew into Berlin from Munich, we have been doing the sights of Berlin on our own. Museums, walking tours and the like and generally getting a feel for the place.

Some photos follow....
