I've been having some troubles with my tooth again - Ayia! So in order to get that dealt with, we decided to go on the free walking tour instead of the day-long tour. We still get to see all the major sights so it's not too big of a deal. Plus, it's free!
Last night Dad and I went out on the town for a few drinks and to see what the Berlin nightlife is all about. We first went to a local jazz club and then had a couple of pints in a lavish USSR themed bar decked out in hanging boar heads, provocative female statues and dark red lights. It was 50s night so there was a group who came in dressed very 50s-like and started rockin' and rollin' on the dance floor. It was like a scene out of a movie. We met a a couple of nice people one of whom (a Swiss guy) recently spent a few weeks in Vancouver and was quite excited to have us there. He even had a picture of False Creek as his display picture on his phone.
This morning Dad and I had breakfast at one of the cafes around our hostel. We're now waiting for the dentist office to open up so we can get that done before joining the walking tour at 1PM with our tour guide, Matt (the coolest Leeds born hipster you’ll ever meet). We'll get all of the major sights done, but I have a feeling we're only hitting the tip of the iceberg. The list includes: the Berlin Wall, the Reichstag, Hitler's Bunker, the Brandenburg Gate, and many more. This city seems massive and there are so many small alleys and corners that are overlooked but add so much depth to the city. I'll have to come back one day - though next time I'll make sure to come during the summer months!xoxo
