Hot, heavy and high (up)...

Today I was determined to somewhat make up for the just “half-packed” yesterday. First I went to Fredrichain which is a district in Berlin that has some artwork and stuff on the houses and I also wanted to check out the “East side gallery” there which is a part of the Berlin wall, now covered in artwork. While planning the short walk to the “gallery” I realized that “Berghain” was directly in my path so I just had to check it out on the way. Berghain is a famous german technoclub with several clubs within the club. You can google it but I don’t think it gets much more hardcore than this, which also the appearence of entrance told me. To just get in is hard, to not say impossible, if you are not the right clientele. 🌚🧛🏿‍♀️🍆👹

After checking out the wall with the artwork so, I went to the Ferhnseturm (tv-tower) which is 368 meters tall, but you can only get to the observation deck at 203 meters up. But you still get a spectacular view of the city! 😄☁️.

I also wanted to check out a cool helium balloon called “Die weldt balloon” or highflyer that takes you to the height of 150 meters over Berlin and this was easily the highlight of the day! 😄😍🤪 Even better than the tv tower because you were “outside” in a basket, feeling the wind and feeling the balloon move with the wind. It was however attached via a long line and vinsch which was also what brought it down again.

Safely back on the ground I checked out the memorial to the murdered jews of europe also called holocaust memorial. It consists of more than 2 700 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern. Quite an impressive and powerful view.

Tiergarten park was nearby so I also checked that out but by now my feet started to hurt (It’s not ideal to carry a backpack with a dslr camera, two lenses, a gimble for filming with the phone, complete with weights, a liter of water and some heavy battery packs) so I had to take a short brake. But soon I was on my feet again, checking out the park before taking the bus back to Alexanderplatz where I found some cool guys drumming on plastic barrels and stuff. Pretty impressive and I did a little live broadcast on facebook before also checking out the sale on New Yorker. Picking up a few things. And that pretty much concludes this day. Tomorrow I think I will check out an abandoned airfield and go to this pool. 🙂Read more
