Grooms guide you through eight hundred years of history its not so much about facts and figures but about getting an impression of life through the ages.

Two years later it was Queen Elizabeth a second step landed just the people on the code on the neighboring streets near geyserville immoral church could feel the Olympic Stadium yesterday and for. The cold war era the first and was the center of west by land. But after the fall of the berlin wall it lost some of its drama the former east became fashionable while the good im seemed stuck in the past. Not a lot has been done to burnish the image in recent years many New Buildings have gone up others have been renovated. And this has been a huge transformation after the fall of the wall there were only cheap shops here but now its much nicer to. Invest more people are coming to the west to see whats going on. Theres something new every day no even talk about noise but like the old christopher street day parade for instance all the big celebrations after football matches. Once again the qudama is one of the busiest time best streets in the city. My next stop is the zoo located just off the cool. Its home to some twenty thousand animals and oasis right in the middle of berlin. To new panda bears are the current favorite attractions arrived in the summer the public loves it. And then there are the tap ears im going to head zookeeper your feet then.
