A warm night in the “hut palace” but we still has a good sleep. After we’d showered a simple breakfast of croissant, apple and tea of coffee awaited us. As it was just a light bite to start us off, we ventured out to find a café for something else. A couple of streets along we found Cafe Valentin and ordered a healthy platter board, chai latte, milky coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. Bliss. Llunch was a visit to Burgermeister, james v burger recommends this, so we headed along as it was nearby. It was really busy so there was a bit of a wait but it was really filling and delicious!
we then headed to a new hotel for the night, over near the Olympiastadion which allowed for a wee trip to Spandau. We headed first to an old pub recommended in oru beer book, but sadly it was closed, perhaps for some time. 🙁
After this, we headed to Spandau Brewhouse nearby. Great beer brewed on site with helpful service and a big beer garden – would recommend a longer visit. A quick run run across town on the U Bahn, and we were at Alexander Platz to visit the TV tower. Wanted to go up this for a good few years. After the trip to the top some more liquid and food was needed. So we checked out The Bird. We’ll keep you on tenterhooks about that….
We loved our visit to Berlin but did start to find the food a bit meat orientated. One night, having decided to pick something veggie, I used my limited German to order KartoffelSuppe. I was very pleased that potato soup actually arrived but in the middle of the plate the restaurant had thoughtfully added a big sausage!
Yeah, meat everywhere. 🙂
