We packed up and went to Berlin for Easter, which was great. I hadnt left the sunny shores of Spain for almost a year, so it was good fun to get on an airplane, even if i was a little hesitant about being allowed back in. We holed up in an awesome hotel right in Alexanderplatz for three nights. The weather was fun, snowing softly every day like little magical balls of lint falling through the mist. It was between 0-5 degrees but hardly noticable with all the fun we were having. On the Saturday we spent a good 9 hours strights shopping, all within the 500metre area of our hotel (note the photo of shopping bags).. and got some great things, the shops are far better in Berlin than Barcelona. We did all the touristy things and even had time for the museum of modern art, although the collection was pretty rubbish and at 8euros a head we were less than pleased.. oh well. The most memorable for me is still the Sony Centre at Potzdammerplatz designed by Norman Foster and the Jewish Memorial site with huge massive granite slabs.
