Woke up to -12 degrees in the morning.. A poor crow is cawing perched on the tree outside. I open the window for some fresh air and the cold instantly misted up the window.<\/p>\n

The day started with a mcMuffin breakfast with Cappucino at the Berlin central station. Then buying the Day ticket for zones ABC costing 7.70 Euros for today.<\/p>\n

Then took the S7 from the central to Wannsee. Following the bus stop signs , took the bus 316 to Glienicker Bridge.<\/p>\n

There were blue clear skies the whole day and unbelievably chilly. Learning from the day before I had don even more layers of clothing on that I think I know how an onion feels.<\/p>\n

I wanted to see this bridge because of its significance that it was half west and half east Germany. Prisoner exchanges were then done on this bridge.<\/p>\n

Walking across it at the half point was a plaque to indicate it. Was somehow an emotional moment when seeing it.<\/p>\n

When its so cold, something magical happens the lake freezes but even more awesome is when a river freezes which I have never seen until now. It was a chance to walk on the river. An amazing feeling!<\/p>\n

After the Schloss is an exit and bus stop to catch the bus to the city center. Stop at the Rathaus and walk towards the Nauener Tor which has the Dutch Quarter behind it and many small interesting shops!<\/p>\n
