Arrival in Berlin

Our arrival at Berlin was inauspicious. The machine dispensing train tickets wouldn’t accept credit cards and would only accept €5 and €10 bills. Jeff had to get change. We then went to the machines on the other side of the stairs and those accepted cards.

After purchasing the €9 monthly pass, we made our way to Alexanderplatz station. Hackescher Markt, which is the station next to Hotel Zoe by Amano, was closed, and so we had a bit of a trek through the unseasonably cold streets of Alexanderplatz to our hotel. Hotel Zoe by Amano turned out to be a real gem for the price we paid. It was centrally located, it had a cool vibe, and we had a rooftop lounge with great views of the city!
