On the s-bahn
2 Mart 2023, Almanya ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
I really love how the S-bahn allows you to see lots of the city. Unfortunately most of the photos I took are doubled up with reflections of me.

I took the S-bahn out to Ostbanhof to see the East Side Gallery.Okumaya devam et

East Side Gallery

Wow! A remaining bit of the wall that artists came and painted with their own impression of the wall coming down. They have been updated and I think there may also be some new ones too. Very powerful.

Afternoon wander in East Berlin
2 Mart 2023, Almanya ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
I then wandered around a bit on the East side. I found an art centre, but only found one exhibition in it (I feel there was probably more, but it wasn't obvious). It was a photo exhibition of different sides of Istanbul, which was very good, so glad I did see it.

It felt very scrappy in that area, but there were nice parks and cool wall art and it seems there's lots of building going on and it feels more modern and upbeat the closer I got to Jannowitzbruecke S-bahn station.Okumaya devam et

Hackescher Markt
2 Mart 2023, Almanya ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
And finally (unless I do make it out to the jazz bar, which I feel is unlikely), a few pics from Hackescher Market, which was one of those 'let's jump of the tube* here' moments.

*Not the tube, I know, but it something I quite enjoy doing on the tube and seeing where I end up.

A lovely little market with artisan jewellery and bags and hats and scarves and so on (no, I didn't buy anything - there is NO room in the bag).

And a nice Italian restaurant where I decided I would have a late lunch/early dinner, having only had a pastry all day. The salad was HUGE but lovely. I had a basic spaghetti pomodoro which was exactly what I needed. And a nice cold beer. Perfect.

Now back in the room, with a box of lemon and ginger tea and some waffles. There's a chance I will have a siesta and then go out to the jazz bar later. But there's probably a much bigger chance that I will veg out in front of a boxset and do some drawing before getting an early night.Okumaya devam et

Got the S-bahn a few stops down to Tiergarten so I could have long walk through the big park.

Nature bath in Tiergarten

It's still a bit early in the year, so the trees were all quite bare, but it was still lovely to walk through.

Hallo München
4 Mart 2023, Almanya ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C
Longish (5 hours), but comfortable, journey from Berlin to Munich. Sadly, my seat had no window, and the people in front were using the coat hanger thing, so couldn't even get glimpses out that small gap. One of my favourite things about train travel is watching the world go by - the changes in landscape, the differences in buildings, and the glimpses of people in different environments. But it did mean I got a good amount of reading done and finished my first book of the trip (The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferante).

This hotel is very lovely. I think it's quite new (or newly refurbished if not new entirely). Beautiful wallpaper and some high-end touches, including a Nespresso (type) machine (sadly don't think that will give me booked water for my herbal teas) and a fridge and wider than normal single bed with three different types of pillow. And the receptionist was very nice and printed my Bologna Book Fair ticket, which I had forgotten to print before I left Stroud.

I ventured out to look for food and wandered toward the old town (I'm pretty sure). I caught glimpses of a lot of beautiful old buildings so I am going to have a wonderful explore tomorrow. And there should be a bunch of photos tomorrow, I think.

I'm also planning to go to a museum because it has a €1 entrance fee on a Sunday (have been avoiding them so far, because they're all charging over €20 and I would REALLY need to know there are things I want to see inside to pay that (on this particular trip, anyway). (Sidenote, we are so lucky at how many of our museums in the UK are free to enter - let's make sure they stay that way.)

I went Italian again (definitely my default!) and was definitely a non-vegan day, as well. Spinach and ricotta ravioli and Tiramisu. I am pleased with how much I have been able to eat vegan, though. I hope I'm not fed up with Italian food by the time I get to Italy.

And then I navigated myself back to the hotel, at night, without needing to check my phone once. I was especially proud of that, as I was constantly getting myself turned around in Berlin, even with Google Maps.

Only here tonight and tomorrow night and then off to Italy.Okumaya devam et
