We went to see the World Sandcastle Competition which was quite spectacular. There were 12 exhibits, each about 6 metres high and the detail in the work was amazing. There were some depicting classical Greek scenes, a couple of abstracts, a Merlin, and many others. There was also an area for children to play and build their own sandcastle. The whole place was set up like a beach with umbrellas and beach chairs.
We went for a walk to see the “New” Jewish Synagogue which was virtually destroyed during the War and now partially rebuilt as a memorial/museum. Security was very tight there, going in and coming out, but it was interesting to see.
After lunch we had a walk through Museum Island and walked around the Berlin Cathedral and on to the German History Museum where we spent a couple of hours working our way through the different eras of German history – very comprehensive. Very tired and back to the hotel.
