We hit the ground running upon arriving to Berlin. Had a great first meal at an unsuspecting restaurant which we first thought would be sub par but turned out to be amazing.
We then went on a Sandeman's walking your which was a great way to get acquainted to the city. It was a gorgeous day and 30° so who could complain I even got a bit of a sunburn so all in all a great day. That night we went out for supper and had some traditional German food which was amazing. Wiener-schnitzel was amazing and the size of a dinner plate and oh so yummy! The beer. Wow. So. Good.
The next day we rented bikes and rode around the city which was an amazing way to see the city and since Berlin is such. A bike friendly city I felt safe the whole time, everyone gives way to bikes which was great.
We ended the day with another great meal for Katie's birthday. Then off to bed as I had to be up early to get to he airport and back to reality. Until the next time Berlin!!!
