Day 3, The New Palace and Sanssouci

So I pretty much took it upon myself to write something, because i thought noone else will hahah, so sorry if you were going to write something! Today we went to the New Palace and Sanssouci. We went to school for an hour in the morning and then walked to the train station, We got off and walked down to the New Palace in Potsdam. It was so amazing. Even though it was old, and under restoration, you could still see the beauty behind it, and the amazing architechture. We walked around outside for a bit taking photos, and then we went inside for our 2 hour tour. We had to put on these massive slippers, because they want to keep the floor free from scuff marks, because it's all marble. We went into a couple rooms, and our tour guide explained everything you needed to know. We found out that Friedrich the Great was the one that built it, and he actually died in it too. After we had finished the tour, we went outside and started the LONG walk down to Sansoucci. I think it was almost 2 km? So yeah, it was massive! On parts of the way there, we stopped and our guide told us little things about the buildings dotted around the landscape. We finally got to Sanssouci, and it was beautiful. It has 6 rows of vineyards infront of it, flowers everywhere, and the most amazing massive house! We then walked down to Potsdam, shopped, ate and saw the sights. And then returned home. All in all it was a good day :) See you soon! -Kate
