Europe 2000 Photo Gallery

Berlin, Germany

These photos were taken during my stay in Berlin, Germany while visiting my family prior to my cruise vacation aboard the M/S Splendour of the Seas.  Photos of the voyage itself will follow this page when completed.  To continue on to the subsequent photo gallery pages, please click the links at the bottom of each page.  Thank you!

 

 

 

Photo 1 : I truly love European architecture and Berlin has so much to offer!  Photo 2 : Here you can see some traditional residential areas and to the right, the famous Gedächtnichtskirche.  The structure to the left is the former church that was once bombed out in World War II and to the left is the current.  Photo 3 : Here is another perspective of the famous Kurfürstendamm where pedestrians enjoy shopping, street cafés, and people-watching.

 

Above Right : Located along the Kurfürstendamm as well is the largest department in Germany, the Kaufhaus des Westens (or Ka De We).  Above Right : Located adjacent to the Ka De We is the U-Bahn (Untergrund Bahn) subway station Wittenberg Platz.

 

   

Above : The famous Brandenburg Gate in May of 2000.  The Eastern sector of Berlin has changed so significantly that many areas are now much more modern than what the West is!  To the right is myself, my good friend Kristin, and her fiancé Björn.


Below : During Kristin and Björn's visit to Berlin before heading back to Bremerhaven, we spent the day exploring some of the beautiful scenery and historic culture of Berlin.
