Today was a day of R & R. Minimal walking, no steps, but we did hit the shops.
We head to the Berlin Tegel airport tomorrow morning for our next adventure. Stay tuned.
A new airport is being constructed in Berlin which will supersede the two existing smaller airports.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2016.
We finished the day with an Aussie BBQ in the court yard of the hotel. A great meal but the espresso martinis really turned the night into a German drink fest.
This is the Main highway called Strafe des 17 Juni which runs between Siegessaule (Victory Column) and the Brandenburg Gate. Picture taken from the Brandenburg Gate. Note the guy parked on the centre strip between the traffic lanes. This is unusual as most park on the footpath !!!!
Reconstruction of the city buildings which were bombed during the war continues, eg building on the left.
They love their sausages. These can be seen in most plazas ( Squares)
This is the Berlin version of the Munich Beer Halls. Many drink beer here from early morning to late at night. It is common to see young guys walking along with a beer in their hand at 10.00 am in the morning. I don't think this would happen out the front of Myer on a work day but then again your elderly scribe is possibly a little out of touch with the latest trends.
Even smaller than a smart car, this little two-person vehicle is great in the busy city and can park on the footpath easily.
