Diana and I set off one afternoon to see more of what Potsdam has to offer.Kolonie Alexandowka (Russian quarter). We just walked through, knowing that a day excursion trip will lead us around the Russian sides of the city, including an exclusive tour of an old KGB prison... so excited!
One description of Potsdam said you can stay here for a week and blissfully convince yourself that you've seen most of Europe. I'm beginning to think that's true. Even though most of it is unauthentic, I've visited Russian, Dutch, Ancient Greek, French, Italian, English, etc. sites.Belvedere auf dem Pfingstberg - the highest point in Potsdam. The building fell into total disrepair during the GDR; the pictures inside the little museum were bad. So with lots of moolah and hours, they recnetly rebuilt the whole thing as a cultural symbol and historical venue for modern events.
Diana was grinning the whole time. I think we liked to be able to point at building tops and windmills and towers and know what we were looking at. The silver rail shes leaning on has arrows, landmarks, and distances which helped too.
We could see all the way to Berlin. Love it here!
