This weekend MK and I were in Berlin for a kid free break. I must admit to being fairly ambivalent about Berlin so far. We saw the usual sites: The Brandenburg gate (not that impressive), Checkpoint Charlie (which doesn't exist, there are just lots of tourists standing in the road where there used to be something) and tried to see the Norman Foster additions to the parliament building (couldn't get in because you had to book on-line 2-3 days in advance)
We saw a lot and must have walked 25km as we walked more or less non-stop for about 8 hours.
The weather was good and we had a really nice weekend in a nice hotel and a great meal out on Saturday night. We also managed to stock up a bit on kids clothes as they both needed new trousers and (a little impulsively) bought a new compact camera as it was heavily reduced in the Sony centre.
(These photos are from my phone before we got the camera, I'll have to find time to upload those at a later date)
On Sunday we went to Charlottenborg castle in glorious sunshine before having a big lunch of sauerkraut and pork and driving home again.
Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteWe ate dinner in the Reihstag, which I think was expensive, but not to us, so we saw all of the building & Berlin by night.
Good to have a break.
