Berlin

Once upon a time, Berlin was home to Dominic for 2 years and my home for half a year. This place always has sentimental value to us. Our trip to Berlin was very relaxing. We hardly do or see anything new. We just meet up with friends or rather Dominic's former boss, and take it very, very easy.
On the first night, we had dinner with Dominic's former boss and family. On second day, we went to his boss's home for dinner. On the third night, they brought food and came to our hotel. It was great catching up. We last saw the daugthers when they were less than 10 years old and now they are entertaining Lucas & Chloe.
In the daytime, we went to KaDeWe (Harrods equivalent for Germany) and did some shopping. We took the hop-on and hop-off bus, tram and just go with the flow. Our initial plan was to visit the Zoo but I was feeling lazy and discouraged. It was 3 degrees and I don't feel like watching the animals in the cold. And the kids are not animals fan either.

Waiting to board our train to Berlin.

Chloe and her pancake for breakfast.

The kids had pleasure sitting on the front seat at the top deck of the bus.

Nice wall pictures.

Chloe wants her shot too.

Near the zoo, but we did not go in.The tall buidling behind us is the fascade for famous church ruin which was partially destroyed during WW2.

One day, we bought a day ticket and just took the hop-on hop off bus and wonder around. Here. we stopped at Alexandaer Platz. 

Then we walked to Hackescher Markt, where my German language school used to be.

Patiently waiting for me while I window shop for china, again.

 Where else other than playground....



We were trying to explain the Berlin Wall history to Lucas.

Another playground.....kids are easily satisfied.
