Berlin!

So Michael and I came back yesterday from a wonderful 4 day trip to Berlin! I am truely exhausted now, we did a lot of sightseeing and walking but unfortunately because of travelling etc, we only really had 2 full days there so we didn't get a chance to see everything and there was sooo much to see!

We stayed in a lovely apartment close to central Berlin which had a little kitchen so I was lucky enough to have Michael cook us some lovely German food every night and it was nice to stay somewhere homely. It also had a computer and little desk too as well as a huge TV (although German 'Who wants to be a millionaire' is hard to follow if you don't know the language!)

 

In terms of sights, we made sure we saw the Berlin wall memorial, which was very moving and we took time to read the memorials and plaques there and take it all in. We visited the famous Reichstag building which pretty much had no tourists whatsoever, we were very lucky! We spent an afternoon in Berlin zoo and aquarium also, which apart from Michael hurting his head, was lots of fun! We also visited the German technic museum whilst we were there as well as famous landmarks such as the Brandenburg Tor-very grand!

Berlin itself is a great city, VERY easy to get around with their travel system, it was very romantic with lots of snow so LOTS of snuggling up occured (which I am not complaining about) and whilst it was cold, it was a manageable temperature and we sampled some German food-Michael in particular was very impressed with currywurst! We will definitely go back one day for a few more days because there is so much to be seen. I have a few more days off before I go back to work so intend on doing some serious relaxing :)

Outside our apartment was also my favourite 'Photoautomat' machines which you only get in certain cities in Europe, we had lots of fun posing for this vintage photobooth style strip, which is up on our wall already!!
