Morning Friends!

I wont even go to details about our laid back weekend.  Instead I will straight go to:

The capital city of Germany.  Of all the cities we have been, this was the city that offers the best of everything.  I was standing in our hotel balcony looking over the the city when Cullo joined me and asked,  ‘what do you think of Berlin’.  Without thinking I said, when standing here I see boldness, careful planning, risk taking. Buildings are huge, better, higher and more glittering. This is Berlin!.

The day started with grey sky and the possibility of light showers.  We had huge plans to explore the city. We booked hop on and hop off bus tour and boat cruise.  In no time it started raining and the temperature dropped.  Zara was the nearest store, we bought some long pants for Muli, jacket for Cullo and big scarf for me.   We then took a walk in town.  As soon as it cleared we caught the boat cruise.

I will zip my mouth and let you have a look at Berlin pics.

Amazing buildings as seen from the cruise ship.  The Potsdamer Platz, the Reichstag, Museum Island, Berlin Cathedral and much more.

The bus tour.

Busy streets.

Every turn there is a historical monument.  Careful city planning.

Daddy trying to swap juice for ice cream.  And it did not work.

Pure joy.  Loving and imitating the bear statue.

Chilling and soaking up the joy in the atmosphere.

Ok, that was a quick one.  Now back to running some errands.  Hope you had a lovely weekend and pumped up to start your day.  Next post will be Hamburg!

Take care,
