A bit of a lie-in this morning but we just made hotel breakfast at about 9.50am. Following that we went into the City and went and had a look around the Nikolaikirche to take some photos. It has amazing architecture with pillars that look like palm trees!
Following that we went to see the Stasi Museum (the
Museum in der Runden Ecke Gedenkstätte) which documents 40 years of the Ministry for State Security (Stasi) and its deeply scary practices of monitor and control of people's lives. I was amazed to seem some papers signed in 1989 (when I had just started University) by a person who was born in the same year as me!
We went to
Pepperhouse for lunch and following that we went to Thomaskirche to take some pictures of the inside. Then we had a rest at the hotel and in the evening went out to see the "
Die Große Messe", an amazing Ballet at the Leipzig Opera House. We followed this with a drink or two and a sausage for supper.
