AB goes walkabout - Berlin (Part 2)
Happy Birthday Little Arief! You’re THREE today!
——————————
Continuation from yesterday’s post on my Berlin walkabout:
Sanssouci Palace near Potsdam was the favorite retreat of King Friedrich II - later known as Friedrich the Great.
View of Sanssouci Palace from the courtyard
The infamous Checkpoint Charlie, the crossing point between
East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War.
AB at Checkpoint Charlie
The Glienicke bridge (Glienicker Brücke) better known as the Spy bridge where Russian and American agents used to cross during the coldwar
The Sony Centre on Berlin’s historic Potsdamer Platz. Fantastic architecture!

yasmeen’s mum: Ya its a beautiful palace! I was fascinated by the so-called “oriental” statues which were made by people who had never been to the orient and so used their imagination to conjure up all sorts of costumes for their statues!
Checkpoint Charlie was a bit of a disappointment cos the little museum was closed when we were there
By funky you mean?
