Day seven - Berlin

Apparently, it rained while we toured the Neue Museum in Berlin, enjoying some modern art. We were fortunate to miss the downpour and enjoyed a walk across to Museum Island.

First stop was at Berlin Cathedral with a walk up the dome to enjoy spectacular views across the city.

As I descended into the body of this incredible building, the organ was playing - and what an organ it is! 7,269 pipes, 113 stops and four manuals, and it sounded like the organist was trying them all out in their various permutations. Stunning to both look at and listen to, this was a real treat on a Sunday afternoon.

As we wandered back along the river in the direction of the imposing Reichstag and surrounding modern government buildings, we opted for another boat trip - the third in just a few days, although the only one with a disappointing recorded voice, rather than a more engaging and entertaining live guide, such as those in Copenhagen and Malmo. In any case, it was a lovely way to spend an hour and to get a different perspective on the city.
