Berlin and Wittenberg

Last week our group had a short week of class, ending on Wednesday so that we could head to Berlin on Thursday morning. (As you might imagine, all of us students were quite broken up about this.) We meet on Thursday morning at 8:30 and headed over to the Hauptbahnhof (the main train station) to catch a 9:15 train to Hannover. In Hannover we transferred onto a train to Berlin. Unfortunately, the train we took to Berlin was incredibly crowded (due to another train that had come in late) and everyone in our group ended up without seats the whole ride! Needless to say, we were relieved to get to Berlin and settle into our hotel.
