Day 5: Berlin Impressions
August 1, 2016
We have planned a two-day visit in Berlin before we set out on our bikes. I love strolling the streets of Berlin. It has a kind of big-city shabbyness that you don't find in gentle, well-cared for Munich. Berlin is a little rough around the edges and at the same time cosmopolitan. There are many parks, construction sites, new buildings, historical buildings, neglected buildings - all in all a great mixture. Add to that all the restaurants, pubs and bistros, shops... Berlin might not be beautiful but it has tremendous flare and atmosphere.
