From Amsterdam to Berlin

We spent most of the day traveling, but I posted yesterday before our evening cruise, so here is a last minute Amsterdam picture: 
We met an interesting bum sitting by the sign that was not too excited to find out we were from America. He kept telling us that the US is leading everyone into a world war. He then proceeded to find some Russians and continue to yell at them. Very interesting experience. As I was walking away he yelled that I better "say hello to North Carolina from Amsterdam"... He said it about five different times, each time louder than the other. We were almost at a run at that point haha. 

We left at 8am this morning, and after 2 stops we arrived in Berlin at 6pm. One of the stops was a border checkpoint at the outskirts of Germany. You could still see the watch tower. 


Once we arrived in Berlin, we had a traditional Germany dinner at the hostel restaurant. 


Our tour manager, Matt, took us on a short walking tour to look at part of the Berlin Wall. Tomorrow we start with a historical walking tour. Laura's cousin is suppose to take us out to some places tomorrow evening since she lives here. The Germany v Portugal game is going on today. We were advised to join the fun if they win but to stay inside if they lose...
