Potsdam Highlights



It was a delightful day in Potsdam yesterday just purely hopping on the tourist bus and seeing the best bits via a 3 hour tour followed by a walk around the town and lunch in a quaint pub. I am glad I decided to visit. The first place in the video was Schloss Cecilienhof, followed by Schloss Sanssouci and then the Brandenberger Tor in the old town where I then just happened to find some street art again. Great story telling by the guide with snippets about the Prussian Kings, Frederick the Great, KGB, Winston Churchill and much more.

The feelings are starting to well up in me now. The last few days here are quite strange after the month of finding my way and then settling into the rhythm of actually being here.

John's niece and her husband Matt arrive this afternoon and we are meeting for dinner in the city. Time for a bit of fun I say. I have made up three DVD's for them to take back to the UK for family.

This afternoon I am meeting On from Roof Top Studios and will visit an american artist - I will follow that one up tomorrow as I attempt to pack.
