The Festival of Lights

This little light of mine…
So we went on the last day of the Festival of Lights (Sunday), which is why I didn’t write this post up earlier. Basically, you missed it already, so here are the highlights kind of thing…
They lit up famous buildings all over Berlin for a couple of weeks and we went to have a little look too. My favourite was the Brandenburger Tor, on which they beamed a 10 minute show of fun things. There was a colourful gate, a whole “making of” – when they showed how each stone was set to make the gate, an “I LOVE BERLIN” gate and even a gate bursting with fireworks. The last photo shows the Potdamer Platz area all lit up too. Next year we shall do it on bicycles, because there was a train strike and town was busy, so we only did a few of the sights this time. We will give you more notice for the next show I promise 🙂
