Ich bin ein Berliner

Possibly the least original blog post title for a visitor to Berlin, but hey, who cares?

Just a bit of a wander today, although this leaves me with a quandry: what to do with the left over travelcard I didn't use. I may just leave it in the room tomorrow, or give it to whoever I hand my key to in the morning. Should have bought them daily!

This old brewery is now a cultural centre.

This is the first water tower in Berlin, constructed by an Englishman in the mid-19th century, allowing fresh running water for the first time in Germany.

Some buildings are still waiting to be done up.

I got as far as a lovely, busy autumnal park in Friedrichshain (the Volkspark), although I failed to find the Prenzlauer Berg museum on the way.

Back via Konnopke's Imbiss, as predicted, for a currywurst and a Schultheiss. I ordered in German, but was floored by a question, a choice. He asked me again in English. At least I tried, which was appreciated.
