We have had an amazing four days in Berlin assisted by unseasonally warm weather. Our hotel, The Radisson Blu, is fabulous and well-situated (for a change I chose well - thank you Trip Advisor for your assistance) on the River Spree and next to Unter den Linden.
We have done a combo of bus tours (hopon hopoff) and losts of walking around this city that is a major construction zone. This morning we opted for a 1 hour cruise down the Spree to gain a different perspective on the city.
Here are a few happy snaps from that excursion.
