Have been out and about in Berlin, went on a walking tour, where I met a couple of Aussies (Melanie and Alex) from Melbourne and an American (Chris). After the tour we went to a museum on Museum Island, and then decided to be very cultured and go to the Opera. We couldnt understand a word of it (it was in Spanish??? with German subtitles), could see about 3/4 of the stage if we stood up and peered over the edge of the railing, but thoroughly enjoyed it. What more can you expect for a very well spent 8 euro's.
We then decided to meet up again the next day and go to some more museums. Unfortunately Alex didnt make it and Chris was running late, but Melanie and I enjoyed the Nues Museum, then met Chris and went to the Anne Frank Museum, the Bodes Museum and the Altes museum before we decided that we had been museumed out, and went to the Christmas market. We decided to have a go at Ice Skating, as I was the only one who had been, and my one attempt was many moons ago, and I failed spectacularly. We were quite proud of ourselves, were passed by everyone on the ice, but had fun.
It has been snowing for the last couple of days in Berlin, and been thoroughly cold-not above 0 for the last few days, and just getting colder-send warm thoughts to me!!!! One more day in Berlin, and then a night bus back to London, and Christmas with family.
