Our trip on the Spree River gave us an opportunity to see some of the buildings in Berlin from a different perspective.
The rock in the middle of the column is a part of the old Berlin Wall.
It is amazing when you are traveling how much of your day is devoted to getting where you are planning on going. You think you have the entire day but in reality by the time you get there after a bus and a tram ride, waiting for the transport to arrive, discovering which way to turn when you get off going the wrong way once or twice, stopping for coffee to get your energy back, you really do not accomplish as much as you thought you would that day.
The Adlon Hotel provided a great place for that rest. The decor, plush seats and pianist, made the very expensive coffee and hot chocolate worth every penny.
Getting lost is how we happened upon this gorgeous building.
