A cruise down the river Spree

Berlin weekend, Day 2 resulted in a stroll in and around Museum Island. Quite impressive, so if you find yourself in the big “B”, check it out. First, the Pergamon Museum, home to the original ancient Pergamon Altar…













...the Roman villa and market place gate (yes, here was our “obligatory ‘under renovation” site), so only the villa facade was viewable…



…and the Ishtar gate of Babylonia.











Now, on to that lovely cruise down the River Spree…could we have asked for a more perfect day of weather?





Angie’s house (the German Chancellor's house).





The Reichstag from the river.
