Some 20 years back, I came to Berlin for a Pink Floyd concert when the Berlin Wall came down.
It was a historic moment and I was just a student.
Today, I arrived in Berlin, in the wee hours of the morning, on a night train from The Netherlands. I took the trains to Germany which are called ICE, basdically the Inter-City Express.

ICE to Berlin
Berlin has definitely changed a lot in 20 years, a complete transformation of a city, once divided by communist/socialist East and democratic/free trade West and now united as one.
Just before my trip, I was watching a documentary on the Berlin Wall and how it started - initially as a picket fence and evolved through many evolutions to become The Wall and how it crumbled eventually.
I wish I could have made different plans and be in this historic and wonderful city longer, but I know I will come back again.
As such, I will truly enjoy the next 36 hours or so in Berlin before taking the Sunday afternoon train back to The Netherlands.
And I will post more stories and pictures when I am back.
Take care and be well.
