Berlin

This have been a crazy week at work, so I haven't had the energy to blog about our trip to Berlin until now, but here it is.
We had an amazing trip, and words can't describe the city, so I will show you with some pictures instead.
The Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz, it's a complex with lots of cafes, restaurants and a cinema.
My husband and I having lunch at the Sony Center
Me in front of parts of the wall standing a Potsdamer Platz. It's really hard to imagine that this beautiful city was separated by a concrete wall from 1961-1989.
A memorial for the almost 6 million Jews murdered in Europe during the Second World War. It looks like a field of burial caskets.
The Brandenburger Gate is a former city gate. The wall passed just west of the Brandenburger Gate and the gate became a symbol of the divided city.
Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, the church was first built in 1895 and destroyed during the Second World War. Afterwards they discussed whether to tear it down or renovate it. The solution was to built a new church around the remains of the old church.
The TV tower, we had talked about going to the top and having lunch, but when we got there the was a 2 hour line to get to the top, so we decided that Berlin has so many other things to offer, so we didn't want to waste time standing in line.
Around Berlin stood a lot of bear, which is the city of Berlins landmark. And off course I had to get my picture taken with him.

I just had to get a picture of the red and green man at the pedestrian crossing, he is wearing a hat, isn't that just the cutest?

Well that was just a few pictures from our trip, I can definitely recommend going there! The Germans were all kind, understanding and helpful, and the have a lot of great places to eat, and get a few of these....

Enjoy your weekend!

I should be packing!

I got home about an hour ago, I right now I should be packing for Berlin, but it seems that the couch won't let go of me! That must be the only down side to travelling... I hate to pack, but I love to travel. But I should be finding my suitcase and at least get started, if I want to get everything with me.

I won't have time to do so before leaving on Thursday morning if I don't get started now! Tonight we are going to the movies to see"The Ghost Writer" of Roman Polanski, I don't know if its any good, but we have some free tickets which should be used before the end of April, and this seems to be the only movie we can agree on... I can't get my husband to watch a chick flick.

I won't have time to pack tomorrow either, well I would if I got up early, but with a late night tonight I don't see that happening. I will be working from 10 a.m. tomorrow until midnight, tell me how many people goes shopping at 11 p.m. on a Wednesday before Easter? We are usually open till 9 p.m. and sometimes 10 p.m. before the holidays, but midnight! Come on, that is just plain stupid! We don't count on have a lot to do in our department, which is why from 10 p.m. there will only be me. But I guess I will be able to get a lot done at that point! But since I'm working till midnight I won't be packing tomorrow either, and we are leaving on Thursday at 8 a.m. so if I don't get started now, I have to get up really early on Thursday...

I better get started!

Happy Easter everyone, I'll be in Berlin enjoying myself!
