We changed accommodation this morning and are now ensconced in a very nice apartment in the east part of the city, not far from Checkpoint Charlie. We walked quite a distance from our new abode to join the tour which lasted 4 hours and while we covered a lot of ground we'd done in the coach over the last couple of days, we found it helped to orient ourselves.

We have been impressed with all the tree lining the major roads. Another thing we have noticed is how many people commute by bicycle (with very few helmets to be seen).
Wonderful sights!
