So we got up early on Day 16/2 so we could drive through Arnhem, Netherlands on our way to Berlin. There was a WWII museum that we wanted to stop off at and see. We typed into Brenda (our GPS) where we wanted to go and put all our faith in her that she’d get us there, and she did! The museum was really neat, and very raw (as in, it wasn’t all fancified or anything). It was all the real deal and even things like the uniforms that were there were super real, full of bullet holes and blog and all. It was really neat to see it all preserved like that, and not in the normal museum way.
After that we continued onto Berlin. We got there about 6 or 7 and got in touch with our friends. We were recommended a restaurant to go to, but we were given conflicting answers about where it actually was. And so we found one plaza, told our friends where we were, but that if they were too far, no worries, since it was almost 9 PM. They weren’t far, so they came, we met, found a different restaurant to eat at, had dinner, and it was good! Definitely different than I’d had before, but good none the less. It was back to our hotel to sleep.
They had so many guns! These were some that they found (hand guns) and these are all WWII era guns, most likely used in The Battle at Arnhem.
Coffees and teas that they found buried
Jacket of a uniform, complete with bullet holes and medals
Close up on the medals. It was incredible the number of medals that they had found.
Belt buckles. They had tons of ones with the Nazi insignia on them

The Space Needle of Berlin. I actually think its a broadcasting tower or something. But it looked really cool, and the sky was so blue!
As the sun was setting, it just lit up all the brick buildings so beautifully!
Beautiful red buildings against clear blue skies
Not to mention the sunset itself was beautiful (not sure what this building is)
My dinner. Minced meat wrapped in cabbage with a bacon sauce and potatoes. Definitely a different taste than anything I've had, but it was really good (and it had also been 15 hours since we had real food)
Noelle's dinner. I think it was called a hackstack. It was supposed to be like a hamburger. It was good.
