AquaDom/AquaDome – Berlin Sealife Centre

The AquaDom in Berlin, it was ok, although extremely hyped up. No comparison to the Great Barrier Reef… Sydney here we come 🙂

Didn’t you get a sense of history whilst you were in Berlin? Perhaps one of the most important places in the world in the 1940’s and it was very nearly destroyed by the allied war effort.

I visited some years ago and was fascinated by the number of bullet strikes you can still see on the buildings today and a partly demolished bomb damaged church left as a memorial to the horrors of that time. The Soviet soldiers (the wall had just come down when I visited) selling Russian trinkets and more worrying memorabilia in the shape of military items in the square near the old border.

Finally it was easy to picture in a minds eye whilst sitting on the Kurferstendam enjoying a Becks on a summers evening the 1000+ Wellington bombers overhead discharging their loads onto the city.

It must have been a truly horrific time.
