Christmas Markets in Berlin

Berlin is magic.
Christmas is everywhere.
There were a lot of Christmas markets, and a lot of decorations around the streets.
Mr and I visited:
- Alexander Platz Christmas Markets (in Neptunbrunnen)
- GendarmenMarket (you have to pay 1 euro)
They were full of markets that sold great things, so many and so good Christmas decorations, good food (potatoes, brattwurst, Mr loves them, ....), and so much cold!!!!
Well I didn't enjoyed them too much because of cold.
But, if you visit this city in Christmas time....you have to visit Christmas markets!!

 

First day in Berlin

And here we are!
Berlin!!!!
Mr and I booked this flight in August, and we were very thrilled about this journey!
We stayed at Ibis Style Hotel, it was near Alexander Platz, so we were close enough to the "Mitte".
The first day we were in Berlin, we walked a lot: the weather forecast said that on Saturday and Sunday it would have rained, so we decided to walked along Berlin on Friday discovering this city by feet.
Here's what we saw the first day:

Berliner Fernsehturm

The Berliner Dom

Karl and Engels

The Ampelmann!

The Brandenburger Tor

Holocaust-Mahnmal

So in the next days I'm going to write something more about what we saw!
But for now, I have to go to bed!
Have a great time my dear friends! :)

What I see strolling along Berlin

Hello!!!!!
Well, well, December! Welcome, my dear, last month of a great year!
So, I have some exciting news, I'm gonna share them with you very soon....
But! First of all, Mr and I visited Berlin last week!
I can tell you that Berlin is a beautiful great city.
I liked it, it's not ordinary, it's different from London, Amsterdam, Paris....but I liked it. I probably liked a lot its history, it's so interesting, and, well, it makes me think a lot of human beings and our nature.
By the way, I saw some things that to me, were characteristic of this big city:

1) there were a looot of advertising, fasten with scotch tape, around the pole of the traffic lights.

 

 2) in the most part of the houses there are some wall paintings

---and he walks!! :)

3) people have courtains but they take them open, so you can watch inside ;)

4) they have great feeling with Christmas :)

5) they have happy and funny baskets along the streets
