We headed over to Checkpoint Charlie, aka capitalism fail...
So much historical significance washed away by commercialism.
Jill and I walked along the river crossing a bridge over to Museum Island and found ourselves in the Lustgarten with a perfect view of the cathedral.
After the Tor, we walked a little ways to see the German Parliament building, known as Bundestag.
After a late brekky, we headed out to explore the city. First stop, Brandenburg Tor.
We had a delicious pork knuckle that was massive. Jill tried to eat the entire thing in one bite.
Another look at the TV Tower after dark.
Afterwards, a few snuggles post-dinner. Dan's favouriteEn savoir plus
We walked from Mikkeller to the oldest restaurant in Berlin, and spotted the famous TV Tower (Berliner Fernsehturm) in Alexandraplatz
After 30 hours of travel, we made our way to our Airbnb, had a quick shower and immediately set out to meet a bunch of the crew for a pre-dinner beer at Mikkeller in Kollwitzkiez.
And we're off on a 30 hour, 3 flight journey to Berlin.
Oh, and we bought an apartment in Cairns at the airport literally as we were boarding the plane........
