3, 1, 2 in this order (uh! it's more or less like DerHexer :-) ). Nemo 07:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to do some sort of tour on this day but it depends on how tired I am from jetlag in the morning :) No preference; I have been to the museum island museums before but they are worth a return visit! -- phoebe | talk 04:57, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then the Museum für Naturkunde may be a good alternative in the afternoon if you're not too tired. And the Neue Museum was re-opened in late 2009, so you possibly haven't visited yet. —DerHexer (Talk) 15:28, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like fun! I will meet you in the morning or try to catch up with you in the afternoon. Don't wait on me though in case I get delayed in conversations with people :) -- phoebe | talk 19:09, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

will be able to make it to some of it. --FiliP ██ 11:05, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
