Since I'm safe and sound in my room as all of the city goes out due to illness (I would get sick the first week, sigh), I decided I'd put up some photos from the beginning of Opening Tour aka mostly of Berlin. I only took around 1,500 photos on a 10 day trip. That's not too many is it?
Putting a break in case you don't want to have 60+ photos to load.
If the picture doesn't have a caption, it's likely I don't remember what it is, we went on about 500 tours in 10 days, information overload. Feel free to leave a comment if you have questions about anything!

Hopefully you enjoyed the pictures! This was just the first stop on Opening Tour.
I actually really enjoyed Berlin and Germany in general. I would definitely go back and visit again.
Even if my first interaction with a Berliner was being yelled at in German and English.
