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.

After walking about 15km, we finally made our way back to check-in to our Berlin home, the Hüttenpalast. What an epic location!
