After about an eight hour flight from Newark, NJ we landed in Berlin at 11 AM there time (around 5 AM in the U.S.). We were greeted by our guide Gabriel who will be with us for the duration of the trip. We started by heading to the Pfefferbett Hostel located in East Berlin where we will be calling home for the next six days. After dropping our belongings there we headed to a Turkish restaurant called Hasir where we dined on chicken and lamb kabobs which were very good. Lunch was followed by the main group being split into two for tours of the Pergamon Museum where we observed historic sculptures and other pieces of early babylonian architechture that were taken and reconstructed by Germany in the 1900s. The most interesting piece from the museum for me was the massive gate to the palace of King Nebuchadnezzar II. The group is tired from the long flight but excited for the days to come. Stay tuned for more updates!
