I know they say time flies, but I never thought it would fly by as quick as this! Fortunately, we did a lot of sightseeing and the usual "tourist" things in the first month, so we do not have too much to do before we leave! With only 4 weekends left, we need to think about what else we would like to see and do before we have to go!
Last week I met a friend at Treptower Park, and after a long journey of changing u bahn lines (due to repairs, closures etc) I arrived at this big beautiful green Park by the river!
We were fortunate to have the good weather on our side, and could walk along the river and take in the views! It is such a peaceful place but I can imagine big crowds gathering on weekends to relax and maybe have a bbq when the sun is shining! As close it was to the city, the peaceful setting was enough to make you forget that you were in a city as busy and loud as Berlin!
The weather appears to be improving, and the sun is out most of the day, its such a shame I can only enjoy the view from the office!

The food is just as good out here, and I have never eaten so much bread, cheese and cake in my life! None count towards my 5 a day of course, but they are too good to turn away!
One Sunday afternoon a few of us ventured to Mehringdam to try the famous kebab, known for being the tastiest in town, so we were eager to try! After queuing almost an hour, we tucked in to a big portioned kebab which only cost €2,90! The kebabs were fresh and filling as promised, however Im still unsure if it was the best I have tasted here, and will think twice before queuing again to buy one!
I have been planning what to do before I leave, and I know I would like to visit the National History museum and perhaps the Pergamon museum, as I have heard great things about these two from Germans themselves, so its should be worthwhile! I am so grateful that I get one day a week off from work, as it gives me the opportunity to sleep in and then do whatever I fancy for the day!
Added to my list is a visit to lake Wannsee, the old Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and to find out more information on Lange Buch nacht ( Long book night) which should take place in May!
This Saturday, we are going to Lange Theater Nacht which is a night of as much theatre and Opera you can watch and enjoy within a few hours! I cannot wait! We have yet to watch a theatre performance out here, and the night offers such a diverse range of artists, it should be an interesting night!
