Grateful to have located the perfect pancakes for Simon’s Birthday breakfast in Berlin. Turns out they aren’t that common here – not fluffy ones anyway; crepes are readily available. This one is my delicious banana pancake with maple syrup.
Not exactly on the main strip but if you are in Berlin I think worth the effort to get there – http://schoenescafe.de/
Grateful that we somehow managed to be organised enough to request a time to climb the Reichstag Dome (Parliament Building) in Berlin.
I found it a very moving experience.The historical significance of this building is amazing and it is wonderful to see it being used and loved by the German people again. The architecture of the dome and the view were also amazing.
The audio-tour was excellent – GPS activated it just starts talking when you get to certain points. The historical display at the bottom of the dome tracing the Reichstag’s history was fascinating.
Grateful for us lucking into the seats with the best view of Gendarmenmarkt (square) at our hot chocolate stop.
