Holiday time in Berlin

Friday 6th of July

Our first stop today was Legoland (can you guess who chose that?). We should have known better than to go during the school holidays but somehow the days don’t mean much to us at the moment. I suspect that if you were 10, Legoland would have been great. For us, it was noisy and a bit overpriced. The model of Berlin was outstanding but there was not really that much else to see. I think this is the kind of place you should take a small child to in order to get the real effect.

The highlight for me today was the Berlin Film Museum. There was nothing wiz-bang about the museum but it was a thorough representation of the history of German film. The audio guide (free!) was also excellent and there were plenty of places to sit and listen to the commentary. At E4.5pp, the Film museum was great value and a fabulous place to spend a couple of hours in Berlin.
