Berlin - where we flew in and stayed the first night - is currently soccer CRAZY. Berlin is home to the Olympic Stadium, where the World Cup Final will be held on 9 July. But they have taken it to a new level: including the FIFA Fan Mile (they closed down the main street and did some amazing things to it to make it a place to watch the soccer) and the Adidas Arena (a 10,000 seat, 1:10 replica of the Olympic Stadium, complete with surrounding soccer park). Separate coverage of that later ...
... but soccer has basically taken over the city. There are giant shoes around ...
... they have placed a giant soccer ball on the tallest tower in the city ...
... They have put a giant soccer ball next to Brandenberg gate!
(Here's a nice shot of the gate - which, interestingly, used to be a tollway!)
... even our hotel room chocolates were soccer balls! =) They were tasty too ...
Berlin: It's a great city.
