At Friedrichstrasse.
The majestic Brandenburg Gate, one of Europes most famous landmarks. Not a fan of U2, but I wished I was there last year when they performed.
After a tireful walk (3km..!) at the Tiergarten, we landed at the Zoologischer Garten Berlin.
Have you ever seen a gorilla in person? Let alone a Silverback? The king of all primates. This one was a real show - shoving other gorillas, banging against the glass enclosures. You really don't want to mess with this fella.
The real wanderers,
The beautiful Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. It was bombed in 1943, and has since been restored and rescued from decay.
The only shopping you can do in Berlin on Sundays are probably at flea markets, and we did ours at MauerPark. Live music, made-on-the-spot pizzas, 1€ beers, stalls that stretch to a kilometer.
Stumbled onto Bearpit karaoke - which operates on a simple basis. Random people karaoke infront of a group of 1000s, people go crazy, and then everything is filmed and uploaded on the great WWW. Repeat that every Sunday.
Germany was playing against Australia this evening - and it seems like the whole of Berlin was watching from our hotel courtyard (compare this with the previous serene photo I posted of our courtyard)
Thank god Germany won!
