After our arrival in Berlin and the check in at the hostel, we took a short walk through the neighborhood (Prenzlauer Berg) to a Greek restaurant (Taverna Apollon), because by then it was almost 6 and we haven't had a decent meal in some time. After dinner, we continued our walk and stopped by the "Kulturbrauerei", the former "Schultheiss" brewery (built in 1891) which was renovated in the 90s and turned into a meeting place for cultural events and cultural groups in general. You can find there theaters and movie theaters, restaurants, concert halls, a part of the city museum, public restrooms (yes, sometimes important) and a lot more. We took a walk on "Schönhauser Allee" - the most famous (shopping) street in Prenzlauer Berg. We walked by Gethsemane Church on Stardarder Str. (also built in early 1890s) famous for its role during the democratic movement in East Berlin in 1989.
I guess, we will get a good night's sleep today after the flight and a long day.
UGH
