Because today was a free day I didn't do much, but I still had fun. I slept in until 11 and then I got up and went to a small courtyard at the hostel to read for a bit (I ended up finally finishing the Lord of the Rings trilogy). After 3 other girls and I went to the Neues Museum, which is a mostly Egyptian museum in Berlin. There were also exhibits for the Vikings and the Romans and early Germanic people, but the majority is Egyptian. We saw some really cool hieroglyphs, the bust of Queen Nefertiti (which was so cool), and just some generally amazing Egyptian art. I was able to take a few pictures, but unfortunately none of the bust of Nefertiti.
After we went for our first healthy meal (I had a veggie-wrap) and then, of course, got some Häagen-Dazs ice cream and ate it in a park. It was gorgeous at sunset with a river and some musicians playing jazz and this one lady was dancing and it was just perfect.
And, since it is our last day in Germany, we celebrated with some German 5 gum. Really we just wanted some gum and that was all we could find, it tasted just like at home.
It was the perfect last day in Germany. Tomorrow we have a 6 hour train ride to Amsterdam and I can't wait! (For Amsterdam, we have to get up at 5am for the train ride yeck.)
