2012-09-28 – Berlin, day 3

Valerie was feeling better today, so we took a 4 hour walking tour of the city.  Our guide Alex led us from Museum Island to Humboldt University to the Brandenburg Gate to just above what once was Hitler’s bunker.

After the tour, we got some lunch and then headed over to two chocolate stores.  The first was Ritter Sport where customers can select custom ingredients for a chocolate bar, come back 30 minutes later, and then eat said bar.  We chose sour cherry, caramelized almonds, and biscuit pieces.  It was delicious!  The second was Fassbender & Rausch which has scale models of the Titanic and Brandenburg Gate made of chocolate.
