Default Travel after the wall came down

We had a tour scheduled before the wall came down, and then just before we left we were able to get in through check point Charlie and tour it all…. We stopped at the wall and was able to rent chisels/hammers to chip out parts of the wall with the graffiti on it, I still have many pieces in my possession from that trip. I remember the guards getting on our bus with their M16’s to check us all out. I admit it was scary, but we got through it. It was one of the most amazing times of my life, and touring there was unbelievable. Buildings with bullets into the outside walls, Make shift traffic lights because they had never had so much traffic and nothing was planned….it was a great trip many years ago. One I will never forget.
