The original definition of pedestrian is dull, commonplace, not interesting. While this horse may have the rather pedestrian task of pulling a jaunting car full of tourists through the Killarney National Park in County Kerry Ireland, there is nothing pedestrian about the scenery! He has a glorious view as he plods along the park trail.
The second definition of pedestrian is a person who is walking, especially in a town or city, rather than traveling in a vehicle. In Berlin, pedestrian tourists often visit Checkpoint Charlie, once a crossing point between East and West Berlin. The original structure is now located in a museum and a replica is in its place. Tourists stand in line to have their picture taken with actors dressed as military policemen in front of the guard house.

It just seems somewhat ironic that this checkpoint is now a tourist destination.

Phew! I was in Berlin, just for two days, about a fortnight ago. I’m rather glad I ran out of time to visit Checkpoint Charlie. It looks awfully tacky.

Very tacky, but I thought the pedestrians were rather interesting. We saw it as a part of our walking tour.

I didn’t know about this check-point in Berlin. Shall go there once. It’s just a few hundreds of kilometers from my home.

There’s not much to it, but it might be interesting if you’re in the area.
