Continuing the theme of walking tours and slightly comforted by the fact the rain seemed to have stemmed its tide, I left D at the hostel and headed off with another Aussie for the free walking tour run by the same company I’ve previously explored Paris and Amsterdam with. Berlin however had the biggest turnout I have seen for these tours to date. Split into approx. 6 groups of 20 ...
