Met Troy in the lobby at 8:30AM, we went looking for a place to get breakfast. We went to the Zoologischer Garten Train Station and found several café’s and another Duncan Donuts across the street from the one we found yesterday. We both got a cheese and meat croissant and I of course bought a DD coffee. After we ate, we went for a walk in the park near the station. Walked down the Landwehrkanal. By the time we got back it was close to the meeting time for the tour. The group took the train to one of the main stations and transferred from the S-Baun to a light rail commuter train (DB-Baun) to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. It was cold! The combination of just a light leather jacket, t-shirt and the fact that I have lost so much weight made for a very cold day for me. We arrived at the information center were our guide met us. We walked down to the main gate and entered into a museum. Then we were taken into the camp. They have reconstructed three wooden bunkers. The rest of the camp just had the concrete foundations. We made our way to the gas chambers, eerie. As soon as I got back in Berlin, I went to a nearby department store and purchased a sweater. We once again rendezvoused at the hotel bar for a few before we headed out. We went to Reinhart’s for dinner. This is a very fancy restaurant, the food was excellent. After we got back Tim wanted to go solo tonight, so Troy and I just went walking around the neighborhood.
