Ghosts On Tour - 2006 - Day 19 (October 17)

Today we did a bike tour of Berlin with Fat Tire Bike Tours. For us (being regular bike riders) it was a low stress, easy way to see the city. The guide was great and this time we remembered to tip. ;-)

After the tour we went back to the Jewish memorial and took a tour of the inside. Very moving.

In the evening we rejoined the bike tours group and headed out for a pub crawl. Along the way we bought a metal sculpture that (as I write this) hasn't turned up in Perth yet.
