Busy in Berlin

Well it is my last day in Berlin and I've just said farewell to Robina, so now it is time for me to put up a post showing some of the cool things she has taken me round to see over the last couple of days.

I have posted pics above for four things. One is a night shot from the TV tower in Alexanderplatz that is the main feature of the Berlin skyline. We had some lucky timing as we managed to catch a fireworks display while up there; very spectacular. By the way the TV tower is about 40 or 60 metres higher than Auckland's SkyTower. The second shot is from up on top of the Dom Cathedral. The Dom is a very ornate (as usual with these European churches) and has a fantastic view of the city. With the improved weather here, many people are enjoying the sun on the big lawn in front of this landmark. The last is a bit of a joke shot as it is entirely black. Robina took me to a very interesting restaurant last night. In this restaurant the dining area is pitch black. We also chose the surprise menu so it was certainly a lot of fun guessing what we were eating. The waiters in this restaurant are all blind so they of course have the necessary skills to navigate the dining room to serve everybody. It was quite an amazing experience!
There is also a shot of the Berlin Olympic stadium. We had a very interesting tour through the complex.

Around the things I have photos for we have done a whole lot more as well. Amongst others we have visited the Brandenburg gate, Jewish war memorial, the zoo and a number of towers and other landmarks.

So, in summary, good times in Berlin!


Travel plans at the moment are that I'm going back to Hamburg tomorrow by bus and will spend a few days there chilling out and deciding where to visit next.
