POTSDAM

Located just south west of Berlin - Potsdam is a truly historical place.

Set in the Neuer Garten the Schloss Cecilienhof is where Churchill, Truman and Stalin carved up Europe after WW2, it is a lovely house and as you can see they keep the geraniums in the garden as it was on the day of the meeting.

Just up the road is an enormous wooden windmill, now restored and in very good condition.










The Gardens of the Sanssouci Park are absolutely beautiful as is the Schloss Sanssouci and the Neus Palais.

We had a day here wandering around the gardens, and doing the tours of the 2 palaces and still there was not enough time to see and take in everything - the place is simply enormous.

There was lots of restoration going on and quite right too.

Here are a few pictures of our day there.
