It was a cool day and Pauline had inadvertently left her hat on one of the trains so we went to a local market and bought her a scarf and a hat, Alex a hat and myself some gloves.
After a very nice if rather filling meal we piled into Ulrike’s little car and she took us to a famous spy bridge:
As per Wikipedia:
“The Glienicke Bridge (German: ) is a bridge across the Havel River in Germany, connecting the Wannsee district of Berlin with the Brandenburg capital Potsdam. It is named after nearby Glienicke Palace. The current bridge, the fourth on the site, was completed in 1907, although major reconstruction was necessary after it was damaged during World War II.
During the Cold War, as this portion of the Havel River formed the border between West Berlin and East Germany, the bridge was used several times for the exchange of captured spies and thus became known as the Bridge of Spies.”
Ulrike then kindly drove us to a Christmas market in Potsdam before dropping us off at the S-ban and we headed back to the hotel. It was very nice to catch up with Ulrike, Alex and Julia, great to see you all today!
