Berlin - Day 2 - dj

We took the S-Bahn to Alexanderplatz. From there, we walked to several sites, including St Marienkirche (St. Mary’s - where we listened to part of an organ recital), the TV Tower, the Neptune fountain, and Berliner Dom. Both churches, although very different, were beautiful. Berliner Dom had the largest burial crypts I’ve ever seen. They contained the remains of royalty. Talk about La-Ti-Da!!! We were getting hungry, so we tried a few sweets, a brownie, a plum crumble, a mandarin cheesecake, and another fruit cheesecake/brownie of some sort. All were excellent. After walking around a bit more, we also decided on some gelato. We were all on a sugar high as we finished out our Berlin tour on the HOHO bus. Mom & Lisa spied their favorite store and wanted to point it out for Janet. After enjoying a few drinks/snacks in the hotel lounge, we checked out of Meliá Berlin and headed to the Holiday Inn at the airport. After settling into the hotel and taking a much-deserved nap, we met at the hotel restaurant, Hangar 24. Lisa & I had one more weinerschnitzel, Mike tried the currywurst, and Mom & Dad both had potato soup. Lisa and I had an odd-looking pepper-like item on our plate, wrapped in a sardine. Turns out, it was a caper. We cut into it to see the seeds. Weird.Read more
