We had some 24 hour visitors to show around the city so got to the ‘east side gallery’ – outdoor exhibition on one of the last parts of the wall, the Reichstag (Parliament) and Branenburg gate amongst other sites. The outside components required swift movement with the temperature here at -12 degrees, at midday!

Spent an afternoon freedom beer drinking in ‘Mitte’ – got big bott beers for 50 cents each. Very very chilly although the beers and entering some interesting galleries made for a pleasant afternoon exploration.

Met up with Aimee in Kreuzberg for some dinns and beers. This was a delightful bar to escape the cold with its warmth and pleasant smells.

One of the main drags by our flat, Stalinist buildings abound.

Snow fell on Sunday as we can see from our room.

Our flatmate’s band played at a cafe on Saturday eve, some excellent performance and playing by Nicola and Nathan.
