1988 and see the Berlin Wall (from the west obviously), travel through ghost metro stations
I was in West Berlin in 1981, we had a picnic by the wall and rode the metro through the ghost stations. Which were a bit meh to be honest. You had to change a certain amount of currency to visit the east and we couldn't afford it, so we just stayed in the train and went back again.
We hitched to Berlin, and the freakiest part was driving through the corridor that linked West Berlin to West Germany.
I was born after the Berlin Wall fell, but have read a lot about it, that is why I find it so fascinating.
why would you want to hang out on the nazi side?
