Easter in Berlin

Happy Belated Easter!

I was lucky enough to spend a week of the Easter break in the incredible German Capital City of Berlin.  The architecture is magnificent and I was astounded by the sheer size of the buildings.  The streets there are so wide the city feels vast and has a lovely laid back atmoshpere.  Day one we did a FREE walking tour that takes you around att the major historical landmarks of the city.  Our guide was fantastic, full of energy and he really knew his German History, I learnt so much about pre and post war Germany.  I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the City, they run most days, twice a day I think, meeting at the Brandenburg Gate.

I wanted to share some of the wonderful sights with you.

Brandenburg Gate

The Jewish War Memorial

Catherdral at Museum Island

A quirky, retro cafe bar, near the Prenlauberg Flohmarkt

These were on the ceiling in a Thai restraunt, in Prenzlauberg, I think they were made from coffee filters, but can’t be sure.  I love the way look like they are dancing along the ceiling.  I would like to experiment creating light features and lampshades, these caught my eye from the street and we ended up staying for a beer.

The government buildings that line the river near the Reichstag make a pretty spectacular skyline.

Such an amazing city to wander round and get lost in, came home with a list of places to visit and re-visit next time.
