Two Visits to the Berlin Wall – Part One

In 2019, approaching the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, I found a timely book in a secondhand bookshop: The Berlin Wall, 13 August 1961 – 9 November 1989 by Frederick Taylor. The book inspired me to write about my two contrasting visits to Berlin as a backpacker in 1987 and 1995. Two Visits to the Berlin Wall – Part One is a travel memoir from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
