We reached Berlin by train and found our hostel using Berlin's ultra-fast S-bahn Berlin train. Out hostel had a pool, so Jesse and I relaxed and went for a nice swim before having an early night to catch up on sleep. The next day, we went to the East-Side Gallery, which is the largest surviving section of the Berlin Wall. It spans more than a kilometre, but we walked the entire thing because each part of the wall was painted by artists from around the world in the 90's. It is now covered in graffiti, but it still looks amazing. From there, we took the S-bahn to the Victory Arch (which for some reason had people underneath dressed in costumes you could take a picture with), from there we walked to the Reichstag and then on to a Soviet war memorial that had real tanks on display. It was super cold, so we headed back and went for another swim.
