Berlin city cycling tour - marking the end of this student exchange!

Then we went for what was really popular then - cycling tour! We saw good amount of Berlin in a few hours thanks to this :)

All ready to start!







At a beer garden when arms were aching after 2 hours of riding - the food taste even better!

Post lunch, let's get going ;)

Our guide drew on the ground with a chalk to show us the history of east and west Berlin, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Amazing as I've never imagined doing the chalk drawing thing in Asia, in public space, and not as a from of graffiti!









Completed the bike tour! Though I was so afraid at the start as my biking skill is barely adequate to ride in the traffic alongside trucks. Stayed alive! :)

Reichstag building: a historical edifice in Berlin, Germany.


The Reichstag is now the second most visited attraction in Germany, not least because of the huge glass dome that was erected on the roof as a gesture to the original 1894 cupola, giving an impressive view over the city, especially at night. A pity we haven't seen it at night - maybe another trip!
