Berlin!

Then I got lost and came across a memorial and a pretty park…

The Holocaust Memorial 

Guess who I ran into on my stroll down Unter den Linden? My favorite sparkly vampire 😉

Pictures on a spot where the wall used to be…

Check point Charlie 

Graffiti on the Mercury hotel wall.

According to my copy of the lonely planet, Curry wursts are a must when in Berlin. So as a big fan of junk food I went down to Curry 36 and tried them put for myself. As it turns out, I love them! I like all things curry so this was no surprise.

Not speaking a word of German was almost never an issue, thankfully most Germans (or at least the Germans I met) speak good English too. I did however, go round in circles once trying to get out of a train station because I didn’t know what “Exit” was in German. Its “Ausfart” by the way, just in case you were wondering

If like me you are a chocolate sister, prepare to be stared at. I experienced the same thing in Rome, I guess it has something to do with the fact that there aren’t that many of us there. Its harmless but if you are overly self conscious this can get uncomfortable. I just pretend I’m a really glamorous celebrity (like Beyoncé) spotted on vacation LOL!
