This up coming Tuesday, Emma and I have 4 days off of work. We asked for these days off so we can go to Berlin and spend a good amount of time there to do everything we want.
Chef Florian used to work in Berlin so we were asking him some questions of where to go and where to stay. He recommended to us Hotel Pankow. Its a little small, but in expensive and in a good area for traveling around. Its a quirky little place based on the photos and descriptions we have gotten of it. We will have to see for ourselves when we get there.
Travel takes about 5-6 hours by train to get from Salach to Berlin, so two days will be half days to travel there and back again. But still it is a ton of time and we are so excited.
The next question is, what are we going to do in Berlin? So far on the list is to geocache. A couple of fellow cachers set up a list of good caches for English speaking tourists to guide you through the city and take you to the best monuments. What a grand idea! One takes us to the Brandenburg Gate which is a popular landmark in Berlin. One takes us to a Hiroshima monument. And another takes us to a park where the largest section of the Berlin Wall still stands. I read that it has been converted into a freelance art piece where different artists paint murals on it. If only I could still find a piece of the Berlin Wall to take home with me.
Something else that is on my list to do while in Berlin is to go to the one of the other Salvidor Dali Museum! For those of you who may not know, I lived not to far from the Dali museum in St. Petersburg. I also worked down the street from it for 10 months, and I remember at the top of the parking garage you can see the surreal building in the distance. Dali is my favorite artist, and to have the opportunity to go to the one of the other collection of his art is an opportunity I cannot pass up!
On Emma's list, she wants to visit the Berlin Zoo.
We will be traveling to the Tiergarten to get to the Berlin zoo which is in the center of this park. It is the largest green space in Berlin, and was restored in 1955, after being devastated during WWII and the trees that stood were chopped down for fuel.
Well the preparations are still being dealt with, and our plans are being made.
Here is a question to my readers, "If you were going to Berlin, Where would you go?"
Comment and let me know.
Berliner Fernsehturm
ReplyDeleteThe fourth tallest freestanding structure in Europe, the Berlin Fernsehturm is a 368-meter high television tower in the center of Berlin. The view from the observation deck, 204 meters in the air, is breathtaking.
Burgermeister!!! It's green, ornate, a century old and… it used to be a toilet. Now it's a burger joint on a traffic island beneath the elevated U-Bahn tracks.
