It's rainy and dreary. We met Mark and Brandon and headed off on the subway to go do a tour of bomb shelters. We had hoped to do the WWII air raid shelters but it was sold out so ended up doing the Cold War bomb shelters meant to shelter citizens from ABC (atomic, biological and chemical weapons). It was a really interesting tour. The space is now a museum and historical preservation society. The two shelters we visited are hidden within one old and one still currently functioning subway station.
You weren't allowed to take any photos so I have no photos of our day today - which was also Brandon's 22nd birthday!
Gala evening was amazing. I have to get photos from Mark and Brandon because I didn't take my phone, I'll add them later. The space was very cool, an abandoned gas plant.
We're done with Berlin - Jay spent an hour trying to change our flights with Air Canada to come home early but they were asking a $500 change fee each to do it. We could go to the airport and pay $100 each an probably get on a flight, but we would have to check out of the hotel and go on a wish and that wasn't happening. Finally Jay convinced the guy to just charge us the $200 so he put Jay on hold and then it disconnected and put him through to Lufthansa...he was SO mad.
Looks like we're coming home Friday like planned.
