It was a glorious Sunday morning, our first day in Berlin, and we decided to start our explorations by checking out the Tiergarten, the large park at the centre of the city. The trains were surprisingly full so we were standing in a crush of people barely managing to be inside the tram doors, and then we heard what was happening. The far right party, the AFD, had announced a demonstration outside the Brandenburg Gate. In response, a wide range of groups had anounced many counter demonstrations across the city for the same time, and the people on our tram were headed for the "Dance Against Hate" rally to be held close to the AFD rally, with very loud techno music to drown them out.

Dance Against Hate
Did you join the Dance Against Hate rally? I've only been to Berlin once but would love to return at some point in time. I hope you managed to go inside the Reichstag too. I'm looking forward to talking to you about your travels when you get home. M xx
