Ready for take-off... no?

The active sightseeing in 30+ temperatures with a heavy back-pack have taken it’s toll on me. I even (accidently) dozed off on the bed for a while last night when I got home. lol... So this morning I felt a little tired and even considered leaving some camera gear in the room to easy off on the weight of the backpack. But after regaining my senses I left with a full backpack and headed for Tempelhof, the big closed airfield in Berlin. It was a very important airport during the Berlin blockade and Lufthansa was also formed here. The architect called it the mother of all airports and it sure is majestic to say the least.

I walked along the entire right runway, 27 R (it was a LONG walk, about 2 000 meters / 6 800 feet), in front of the parking areas for the planes and around to the front of the building. The building is H U G E and majestic to say the least so I took loads of photos here!

After Tempelhof I had some lunch and headed back to the central parts of town. My plan for today was to visit an outside swimming pool but today was actually the first day without burning sun and hot temperature. It was cloudy and windy today so I didn’t feel like going swimming but on the other hand I wasn’t as hot and sticky as the other days. 😛💦

For the rest of the day I just did some shopping and having dinner. There is just so much you can fit in a day when you have to travel to different parts of Berlin for all the attractions. Public transport however is very easy to use and with the travel company’s app it’s very easy to find your way around.. 🙂

Tomorrow I’m meeting up with a friend...Read more
