nina convinced me to take a photo of these guys, while i made an utter fool of myself trying to pretend like i was taking a picture of something else. of course they were so drunk at 9am that they wouldn't have noticed me taking their picture even if i had asked them point blank.
let's have a party in the middle of the street |
walking is really by far the best way to explore any city. so walk we did. hours and hours and hours, no ubahn for even a stop. i was walking barefoot, with fancy shoes just in case we wanted to go inside somewhere fancy. but lucky me finally became the owner of a pair of birkenstocks, and then a proud owner of some extremely angry blisters. who breaks in a pair of shoes by walking a new city? #onlyirma
found while walking:
holocaust memorial, a study of greys

we found a vegan food festival, full of fried food carts, and they even had a vegan sausage workshop, which was so funny to watch.
the festival was in the shadow of the tourist symbol the tv tower, and also of a mega hotel advertising a 40thfloor view of the city with a rooftop lounge. so we chose the latter with the hope of a pre-dinner glass of something. by the top we were partched and dehydrated by a mixture of sun/wind/walking around all day and the price of a soft drink was higher than some good bottles of wine and served without love.

and we found dinner and ice cream with tira and patrick, who were nice enough to suggest a place. typical berlin style you walk these very unwelcoming looking streets, turn a nondescript corner and find a block booming and bustling with restaurants and people.
since it was only an hour and 40 minute walk back to our airbnb we walked it. when a security guard didn't let us cut off a half a km by walking through his parking lot a mile from home we started feeling a bit annoyed with the decision. and when we got back we were first kind to our poor feet and then we were asleep instantly.
choosing ice cream don't know what's up with the red cast but i liked it so i didn't edit it away |
