Water Taxi: Church, Meirei and Schlos Cecilianhof

September 23rd, Saturday, was Water Taxi Day (Wassertaxitag) for both Denise and I. A pleasant journey, where we stopped at stop # 2 - Heilandkirche (Church of Saviour) - and stop # 3 - Meierei Restaurant and Palace Schloss Cecilianhof.

We enjoyed a nice meal at the Meierei Restaurant, enjoying their homemade beer and visited Palace Schloss Cecilianhof, where the famous Potsdam Conference took place, back in 1945. During this conference, leaders from the United Kingdon (Churchill), USA (Truman) and USSR (Stalin) decided the future of post-war Germany.

Churchill is back at Cecilianhof!

Apreciamos uma boa refeição no restaurante Meierei, saboreando sua cerveja caseira e visitamos o Palácio Schloss Cecilianhof, onde ocorreu a famosa Conferência de Potsdam, em 1945. Durante essa conferência, líderes do Reino Unido (Churchill), EUA (Truman) e URSS (Stalin) decidiram o futuro da Alemanha do pós-guerra.
