No worries..

Today we went to Potsdam or more specifically Sanssouci Park (Sanssouci is derived from the French "sans souci" which translates as "without concerns" or "no worries").  It is a 290 hectacre park which contains serveral palaces - specifically of Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia.  We toured the New Palace, Sanssouci Palace, the New Chambers and the Orangery Palace as well as seeing several others from the outside (Roman Baths, Roman ruins Folly, the dragon house and the Charlottenhof Palace).  We also climbed up in the windmill.  I really liked it - it is not as big as Versailles and the park is mostly natural not strictly trimmed gardens.  The main park is open to the public for free and there were lots of people just enjoying the day is such a lovely space.
