Berlin was just as fantastic the second time around, but even more so because we had nice weather and didn't have to lug backpacks around. (Molly, Virginia, and I may have also gotten lost, but we found our way around so yay for skills!)
We were going to do a street art tour, but never managed to find the Starbucks near the Alexanderplatz, so then we went on a man-hunt to find the East Side Gallery ourselves. Let's just say that took hours--we got side-tracked by Checkpoint Charlie, souvenir shops, a strange yarn ball-esque sculpture, and a flea market. Eventually we (meaning me) managed to talk to someone who knew how to find the East Side Gallery, and made it there. It was well worth the time it took to get there, and I like Berlin even more than I did the first time.
(Also, found cookie cutters shaped like the Ampelmännchen*! So excited to get home and bake now.)
* These are Ampelmännchen. East German ones, natürlich.
