Another day has ended in Berlin. Only 3 more days to go. Today I went off to find another Market Hall, the Arminius-Markthalle. It is an area that is well off the tourist trek but I found it and it was great. It was like the other Market that Chris and I had gone too but not as crowded and friendlier, possibly because of the lack of tourists. It was full of food stalls to graze from as well as cheeses etc to buy. So I ate a bit, wondered around endlessly and stocked up some more with food for the fridge to last until I leave Berlin.
It was a nice time and I took my time. I left about 2pm and started to make my way with my purchases. Then I decided there was time to do something else so I got off the bus and walked down to Hitler’s Bunker. This has been something I hadn’t bothered to do and indeed there is absolutely nothing to see at all it having been decisively blown up by the Russians. Still, there was the story and it was an eerie feeling to be standing there (with multiple tour groups just in case the feeling got too eerie!). Then I walked back to the apartment but on the way I passed the Currywurst stall that I pass on multiple occasions. They were also selling Gluhwein and I was very cold so I stopped and I actually got myself a CurryWurst as well as a Gluhwein. Then I came home.
I can’t tell you how cold it is getting. In the mornings the roofs I look down on are all white from the frost. Usually the frost is gone pretty quickly but today when I got home there was still ice on the roofs. It is fucking freezing and I’m just glad I’m not facing a full winter. I’d have to get a new wardrobe!!
Tomorrow I’m booked into the Potsdam palaces so have to be up and going to get myself there. It will, I think, be a very big day. I’ll let you know!!
Goodnight…happy day before your birthday Hammy my darling. Hope the weekend celebrations are going well.
