Day 14 – The Berlin Wall and New Connections
On Day 14, we had the opportunity to meet with Bogdan from AgniConnect, who happened to be in Berlin at the same time as us. It was a great chance to spend some time together and continue building connections beyond our group. We decided to explore one of Berlin’s most famous landmarks and headed towards the Berlin Wall.
While walking along the remaining sections of the Wall, we admired the colourful graffiti and the many different artworks painted across it. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 and divided East and West Berlin for almost 30 years, becoming one of the strongest symbols of the Cold War and the division between East and West. After its fall in 1989, parts of the Wall were preserved, and today they serve as a reminder of the city’s history while also being transformed into a space for art and creativity. Seeing the graffiti in person made us appreciate how something that once represented separation can now be a place where people express themselves and connect through art.
After exploring the Wall, we walked towards the nearby river, where we took some time to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. As the sun began to set, the view became even more beautiful, giving us a perfect moment to stop, admire the scenery, and enjoy each other’s company. It was a calm and memorable way to end our time together in Berlin.
At the end of the day, we said goodbye to Bogdan and reflected on the experiences we had shared during our stay. We then started making plans for the next part of our journey, as our next destination would be Katowice, Poland. With another city waiting for us, we ended the day feeling excited about what was still to come and grateful for everything Berlin had given us.
