TV tower dinner


last-meal--freeman, originally uploaded by morgpet.

Whew... dinner while rotating in the TV tower we experienced a 360-degree sunset over Berlin. It was a gorgeous view. Although some people couldn't get use to the rotating part for a bit. Our food was wonderful, meat or veggies we all cleaned our plates. It was a great way to end the trip. One last beautiful view of Berlin when we were finally able to point out everything. Tiergarten, museums, churchs...

The sun set and we left early the next morning leaving behind our Berlin friends and acquaintances as we took home our wonderful memories and of course thousands of photos.

Last day...

Wow we've been back since May 26th. It has taken me awhile to get back in the flow of things. And then I realized I never closed the end of the trip blog. Yes yes... so our last day... our full last day was May 25th. I woke up way early to cram in 3 last sights before I had to meet my subject for my photo story at 4pm. So 9:00am I was in line to enter the Reichstag... 9am... here I was thinking, "OK, I'll beat the crowd." Nine AM and I waited for an hour to get in and ride up the elevator to the glass dome top.
After that lengthy stop, I made my way to the Helmut Newton private artifacts museum. I found it interesting watching home videos, scanning over his old notepads of interviews and just plain photo notes, who he talked to, when he was going to meet them and to top it all off they were half in English and half in French. Also a bunch of his cameras were there, if not all of them. I'm not quite sure. But his Hasselblads, SX-70, Panoramic Fuji, Polaroid Land camera and his SLR Canon and Nikons were all there.
Last on my sights-to-see list was the Eastside Gallery. A small strip of the Berlin wall that has been repainted as an art gallery. I enjoyed it immensely. Just having the wall tower over me was amazing, I didn't realize how tall it really was until I stared up at it and walked along it for about 15 mins. Next entry... our last full meal.
