Winding up...

So for the last day in Berlin before going home I decided to check out the Berlin zoo. It was a nice park with many animals among which I saw swimming hippos up close. Boy are those creatures huge?! Lol..After that I had some lunch before heading Bernauer straße where I met up with my friend Mirjam. First we checked out remainings of the Berlin wall and a crossing between East and West. Very interesting considdering even one of the guard towers where still there.

After looking at that we went on a boat tour on the river and passed some of Berlin’s museum as well as alot of government buildings. It was a lovely ride in the sun and I tried something called Berliner Kindle Weisse which was a red beer with some flavoured syrup in it, there is also a green one. Very good! ☺️

When the boat-ride was over we went to a place called the Monbijou-theatre, which is an outdoor theatre and bar, for some more Berlinder Kindle Weisse and to watch people dance tango! There was an open stage where people could dance, tonight it was tango. It was quite interesting to see people, young and old, men and women, beginners andmore experienced dance along side each other.

After that Mirjam showed me an old and huge building that had now been restored and it had several openings or “courtyards” if you like and in one opening yo came to a part had been left as it was except there were now alot of art! Alot of it. It was very cool and almost a bit hidden. I don’t I would have been able to find this on my own.

Well it was getting later and we decided to make one more stop before parting for the evening so we stopped at this place that was also a brewery and ordered a plate with six of their home brewed beers. 🙃 I also got several tips and hints from Mirjam on what more to do and it was clear to me that six days just won’t cut it. I think I need another trip to Berlin! 😄

All in all a very nice day. But now it’s time to start packing. 🙁Читать далее
