You got to be kidding! We left Vienna in the morning by car also for Berlin It was 1982. On the way all the young people on the street were waving at us, (car with German license plate) I was so scared to wave back. I knew the eastern part of Berlin quite well, used to go there often. My family got stuck in Czech republic during the war and that's where I was born, in Prague. So when opportunity presented itself, I ran. Now going back through east Germany was gut wrenching. Of course we made it, had absolutely grand time. What a difference in those two cities. I used to stand on the front of the Brandenburger Tor, looking into west through the link fences, hoping myself on the other side. Now I was looking the other way, wow what a feeling that was. Leaving we went north to Warnemünde and took the ferry to Denmark. Leaving East Germany is a story for another day, also experience I will never forget.
