Potsdam

Today's itinerary is Potsdam which I understand is the site of gorgeous palaces. I don't think the posts today will be as long as the ones from yesterday but I expect to take some gorgeous photos (with the one in this post a copy and paste from the Internet). It is supposed to be another hot day.

From the tourism site:

Without a doubt, Potsdam is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Adding to the cultural ambience, the capital city of the State of Brandenburg is a natural destination to satisfy varied interests and demands.

Potsdam's most popular site is the Schloß Sanssouci palace, located in the park to which it gives its name. However, there is far more than the former summer residency of Frederick the Great and the Sanssouci park to make your visit worthwhile. The Alexandrowka, the Holländisches Viertel (the Dutch Quarter) and the Weavers' Quarter - the historic sections of the city - provide the flair of a city steeped in European tradition.

The Babelsberg Filmpark, the Biosphäre nature experience exhibit, the National Horticulture Show park, known as the BUGA park and built for the National Horticulture Show in 2001, the tourist cruise ships, and the Krongut Bornstedt (the crown estate) are all special attractions which will make your visit to Potsdam a very pleasurable experience.
