Got a view of Royal life with a trip down to Sanssouci Park in Potsdam. Lots to seen with plenty of Palaces spread about the parkland. It was the home of Frederick the Great in the late eighteenth Century and certainly has some impressive rooms. From bourgeois decadence to the joys of collective socialism in the afternoon with a visit to the DDR Museum. Lots to see, including a Tribant you could sit in, and propaganda films extolling the virtues of the state. The recreation of the typical front room looks incredibly familiar and took me right back to the seventies, even if the music playing on the cassette player was different and the children's board games had a different look. No Monopoly in East Germany. The East Germans also seemed to be very keen on getting back to nature as the film clips of families on holiday on the nudest beaches of the Baltic sea show. There is nothing more unedifying then a middle aged couple playing Table Tennis, naked. Took a trip up the TV Tower for a panoramic view over the city
