Departing from HDCH, our first leg from Toronto to Frankfort was seamless! For many students this was their first flight! A grounds crew rotating strike at the Berlin airport meant NO flights through this airport today. So we were re-routed to Hanover with a 2 hour lay over and than took a 3.5 hour bus ride to Berlin. So the marathon included a vast # of kms over 22 hours BUT that didn't slow us down. Twenty minutes to unload our bags and we ready to GO! A typical German meal at the Oranium Circle Restaurant followed by a walking tour of the city, ample man shopping square, holocaust memorials, Jewish marking stones, Tolerance Street, Jewish Synagogue, road the S barn several times and end the night at the German Bundestag which is the parliament buildings. We toured the Reighstag, which gave us a clear view of Berlin at night. Just settled at the hotel at 11pm. Full day!!!!
