The Sydney Morning Herald published this very interesting article about some excursions along the route where the Berlin Wall used to run through. You may also like to have a look at the beautiful pictures they published with this article!

Glienicker Brücke

Glienicker Brücke is the bridge that used to divide East and West. Yesterday we did a little excursion to this bridge. Here now are a few of the pictures I took yesterday with Peter on and near the bridge.

Well, I wrote this in Berlin on the 10th of October 2012. The wall surrounding West Berlin came down in November 1989. This is going to be 25 years ago this year!

This was posted by Berlioz in October 2012. In November 2014 it is going to be 25 years since the wall came down! And it is now more than 50 years since the wall had been built!

I remember this day in October 2012 when we went for an excursion to Glienicker Brücke and from there to the Cafe GARAGE DU PONT which is situated just across the bridge in Potsdam. We had a lovely coffee break there with cake and a bit of brandy. We felt really spoilt!

Yesterday my wife showed some travel fatigue and was saying it was time we would heading home to Australia again. I thought it was time for an outing. The city of Berlin is surrounded by beautiful forests, rivers and lakes like no other city.

Just take the electric train ( S-Bahn ) and or a bus and head out in any direction. We were heading West to Glienicker Brücke.

Glienicker Brücke forms the border between Berlin and the city of Potsdam and was formerly the border between the two power blocks during the Cold War. Here, as you may have seen in movies or documentaries prisoners or spies were exchanged between the super powers.
