My travels around Berlin
During my recent trip to Berlin, I tried to taste as much of the local food as possible and (of course) had a few beers along the way. The weekend entailed a trip to the Berlin Wall (or East Side Gallery as its also known) as well as a walk around the city to see the Fernsehturm Berlin, the beautiful Spree river, Brandenburg Gate and so much more that the city had to offer. It was very much a trip to sightsee and to get a taste for the food but along the way I discovered so much of the history involved in the city. The contrast between the old Reichstag building and the modern Sony Centre meant that I was never too far from something interesting.
