More Berlin!

We started today at 9:00am with a guided tour of the Berlin Wall. We took the bus around the city learning a lot of its history. Then took a walk up this tower to get a view over the wall itself. We saw there were actually two walls, with No Man's land in the middle. Then we went down and touched it! There are only scattered pieces throughout the city, with the wall up (obviously), so they built this cobblestone track throughout the whole city where the wall used to run. I thought that was clever.
We then visited the German Historical Museum, which was alright, but pretty boring, not gonna lie. I don't know something about the tour just couldn't keep me focused. We were all really tired standing the whole time and lack of sleep was definitely starting to become a issue. I mean, the whole program was at this one bar/club place the night before after eating a Mexican food dinner. Hhaha
We ate lunch and walked around some more and then jumped on the bus for our visit of the Stasi Prison! We had a great tour guide, although the other group had a former prisoner as their tour guide, but that's ok. She took us through the older cells area, used in the 1950s and then the more modern ones from the 70s/80s that were slightly better condition. We saw all of their psychological means of torture and the outside holding cells. It was all pretty creepy and intense. They did all of these things in order for them to confess to going against the government, which was what they had the interrogation rooms for. It was a great tour.
We boarded the bus early at 7:30am the next day (Friday, August 28th) for our long, long trek to Poland. Oh Poland.
