After walking so much the day before, we weren’t necessarily keen on doing a lot of walking again. Besides, it was very hot and humid on Saturday so it was not pleasant outside.  We did go to the Deutsche Historische Museum and spent several hours there. Here are a few pictures from the museum.

We went to lunch in Fredrichstrasse. I thought I would include a picture of typical German food, in this case bratwurst.

We took a light rail to an area called Gesundbrunnen. We had intended to go on a tour of the Unterwelten (Underworld) Museum, an underground area where Berlin citizens were evacuated for safety during World War II. We waited for a while but decided we were too hot and tired to go on a long walking tour and decided to head back. After naps, we went out for dinner and walked around the trendy Kreuzberg area, then went back to the hotel. By that time the soccer match was on, and many people at the hotel and in the surrounding bars were watching it.

I took my computer down to the first floor courtyard where I was able to get Wi-Fi and contact Janie and continue trying unsuccessfully to resolve my phone unlocking problems. By now, Jess’ data on his sim card has run out, and he has been trying to reload it. He is frustrated because he has not been able to figure out how to do it, and could not get instructions in English. He tried to get people to help him understand the instructions in German, but no one is willing or able to help. Apparently, the sim cards we got at the airport are an off brand (Blau), and there is nowhere to go to get help. Now both of our communications are limited, and we can’t use his phone to navigate.
