Day 4 Berlin

Still waking early so 6:30 breakfast in the hotel again. It was the first day of the 3 day museum pass so went over to the Gemeralderie past Potsdammer Platz. Renaissance and middle ages - Lucas Cranach ( esp Fountain of Youth), Durer, Perugino, Lippi, Caneletto etc all the usual suspects. Special exhibition of Bellini and Mantegna comparing their paintings of similar subjects, both from Padua. Then Decorative Arts Museum with dresses from late 1800s. Left cold by the Sony Centre - was largest construction site in Europe in 1990s and Berlin Mall was standard. So had very tasty bratwurst for lunch from stand on corner Wilhelmstrasse/Zimmerstrasse.
Spy museum in the afternoon was entertaining and informative.
