Berlin HBf

Waiting for the S-Bahn, aka metro, at Berlin central station, last December. No ballet in Spandau for me though.:-)

The world and the Currywurst

Berlin without Currywurst is not really Berlin...Pork sausage, with ketchup, vinegar and curry powder  I like my Wurst as any German does, or half-German in my case. The Germans eat 800 millions of them every year, according to the Currywurst museum (I'm not kidding, there is such a museum) in Berlin. I'm travelling a lot, but I've never seen it elsewhere.
The hot air balloon, Welt is German for world, is probably taking the Wurst around the world....Could be worse...;-).

The door to...

... well-being. Technical door to one of the thermal springs in the neighbor town of Baden-Baden, 40 km away in Germany. One of the springs of my favorite spa, the Friedrichsbad

Frieden

German for peace. A mural on whet's left of the old Berlin wall.
More Monday Murals in Sami's colourful world

All hands on

Part of the East Side Gallery, the decorated remains of old Berlin Wall.
More b&w here, as usual

The Dom

This the protestant cathedral in Berlin, just next to the world famous Pergamon museum, on the Museum Island, on a glorious but freezing day The entrance will set you back 7 euros...
More about it here, in English.

Smoking hot!

Yesterday, I went to the mid-sized town of Offenburg, 25 km away, in Germany. They had a "hamburger fish market". The hamburgers were citizens of Hamburg, far up north, no meat anywhere around... lol
Smoked mackerel and potato salad... Heavenly.

Weekend in b&w

Spotted in front of a old haunt of mine, in a German city nearby...
More b&w for this weekend right...here!

Ettlinger Tor

A pirate ship (below) in a shopping mall in Karlsruhe, medium-sized german city nearby

Siberian day out!

I almost froze solid today. Being still used to more southern temperatures, minus 4 C, wind chill factor minus 11 C, despite of the sun,.. Very hard!
Anyway, I went to the lovely german city of Heidelberg, 140 km away. You get different kinds of mulled wines here, exactly what I needed!

Classy!

So I went for a bit of shopping, to Karlsruhe, the next big German city, an hour away. Some nice buildings there... This is but a side entrance to the former palace of the local dukes, now a museum.
