Berlin 5: Misc.

A mish-mash of misc. photos from different days in Berlin:

Street scene.  Like Amsterdam, there are a lot of people who commute by bicycle in the city.

A lot of stores and restaurants we saw had candles lit out front.  It was so welcoming, especially in the freezing cold.

These above-ground pink pipes are apparently used to pump out sewage from construction sights.  Hopefully they never break on anyone...

After the Pergamonmuseum we stopped at a restaurant called the 12 Apostles.  Katie had read about it, and that they have a different type of pizza named after each of the apostles.

I opted for Jacob, and it was delicious!

The best part of the restaurant, however, may have been the ceiling, which was painted with scenes from the Sistine Chapel.

More food.  Every night we were old ladies, and by 6pm or so would be exhausted from being out all day and being so cold, so we would stop at the grocery store and get things for dinner.  We were over the moon when we found things that are almost impossible to find in Rome: cheddar cheese, honey roasted peanuts, and Dr Pepper.  Best dinner ever.

At the DDR museum, which is an interactive exhibit documenting life in East Berlin.  The car we're in here was the only type of car available in East Berlin, and it essentially was a small box of plastic.

Christmas markets!  They weren't all open yet because it was still early in the season, but we were able to see a few.
