Our first encounter with Berlin - see my earlier blog - was rather mixed but on the whole positive: the Alexanderplatz might have been a bit of a disaster, the barge-cum-cafe and the surrounding area (Treptow) was great.
Now that we were in the city I remembered some other must see's. We decided to go to the Brandenburger Tor by way of the well known boulevard Unter den Linden - that happened to be broken up as if they were working on a new underground line. The Brandenburger Tor is now a tourist trap, but a great one. Lots of people strolling around, lots of street artists.
On we went, to the KaDeWe, Das Kaufhaus des Westens, the biggest and most famous department store in - then - West Berlin, and the biggest department store in Europe, for that matter. See my next blog, dedicated to our fav. floor: the delicatessen!
After our visit to the KaDeWe the traffic was getting a bit hectic and we wanted a nice and quiet place to spend our last holiday evening.
So we left Berlin late afternoon and headed West, to a little town where there would be famous sulphur springs.
But that's for another blog.
Here are our first glimpses of Berlin for you!
