SO TIRED. We did all the walking.
So today, we went to an abandoned airport, Templehof Airfield/air port . It was originally designed and used by the Nazis...but by the time the war it was used for military purposes...they used it to build smaller airplanes, etc. after the war, it was used as a commercial air field and as a small air base for the Americans until the 1990s.
It's HUGE, not just the airport but the airfield also. We also got to go underground and see bomb shelters.
It definitely reminds me of an example of a mega-structure.
It's now used as a park (the airfield) and a place for conventions,etc and 1/3 is used by the Berlin police department.
It's very impressive in size and the architecture is very monumental.
Also, we ate lunch at this really old German restaurant (?). It's very mom and pop from the 1880s. It's really coo. We had potato soup with a bouckworst. It was really good, but that was a lot of soup.
