When DH and I were last in Berlin, New Years Eve 2010, and we stayed at the same Hilton with our room facing the square. It was very cold, but magical and energizing spending the evening and into the morning with several hundred thousand of our closest friends as the fireworks burst over the top of the Brandenburg Gate. Once we arrived back to the hotel, the black tie NYE celebration was breaking up around 3 a.m. We rode up in the elevator with another couple who attended the event. They were dressed in their finery, and DH and I in muckers and a our parkas! LOL We're looking forward to going back, but not in January. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks again for the lovely post. It brought back many happy memories.<br /><br />Warm orange hugs, dear.<br />CSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-57698358870553288142013-08-10T17:26:16.126+02:002013-08-10T17:26:16.126+02:00Indeed!

In the bike shop, we met the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who planned to cycle through town over the weekend. He later described Berlin as ‘a paradise for cyclists’ in his Telegraph column! The streets felt very safe indeed, but perhaps they were emptier than usual because of the holidays :-)MaiTaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256110739626579757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-58018164615264908922013-08-10T14:55:13.004+02:002013-08-10T14:55:13.004+02:00So great to hear you had a wonderful time!

Post WWII it was divided into East and West, and from 1961 - 1989 the division was enforced by the wall. Since the wall came down, the former Eastern part has undergone complete change, and it is still an ongoing process.
