Finding our bearings and reading the maps correctly found us trekking to the tower and the Spree river to find the painted wall memorial. There was a long stop at the shopping mall where we went to Galeria, a department store where Michele bought a jacket and Teresa had her hair done ready for Poland. It was the hair salon with fantastic views of Berlin!
Lunch was in the bistro…..more schnitzel and espresso then off for some more shopping in a place similar to DFO, a discount outlet. Teresa bought the coat she had her eye on to keep warm for the rest of the trip!
Finally, after walking for another 40 minutes we found the river Spree and the painted wall. It was an awesome sight steeped in history and culture. There were many tourists visiting this area. We had a stein of Berlin beer on the river and then returned home to prepare for the evening.
Scott brought a plastic spider from home that he has tried to frighten us with but it’s not working! I hope we don’t leave it behind and frighten the daughter of our airBnB host!
Scott’s friend Lucas joined us for the evening and had booked us into a quaint Typical German restaurant where they served Pork knuckles ( no crackly though like in Brandy’s) sauerkraut and beef roulade. Vodka was served in shots!
Daylight savings ended tonight so we have an extra hour tomorrow!
Our time in Berlin was suddenly at a close yet we are very excited to drive into Poland to meet the relatives!
