We went to the nearby Kurfurstendamm, which was blocked off to normal road traffic for an impressive classic car show.
Whilst Di reviewed the shops, including one Christmas shop, Bill then returned to the Story of Berlin to go on a tour through one of the few remaining nuclear bomb shelters (none are now functionin in Berlin - during the Cold War, there were 16 in West Berlin and 6 in East Berlin, and this one became inoperative in 2012!
After lunch at Ka De We, we caught the bus to the World Heritage Museuminsel, which has 5 museums on the island. Time only permitted a visit to the magnificent Pergamonmuseum, which boasts exhibits in the form of the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way, the Mshatta Facade, and the Market Gate of Miletus. Unfortuantely, due to building works, the hall containing the Pergamon Altar is out of bounds until 2019.
