One of the first things we did was rent bikes and it turned out to be the perfect way to cover such a big city in 4.5 days. This trip reminded me of how much i enjoy biking. Definitely need more of that in my life.

pin it!Berlin is the flattest freakin’ city that I’ve ever been in. There are wide bike lanes everywhere, and pedestrians will actually get out of the way if you ring your little bike bell.

pin it!Robin got a flat tire but fortunately, we found a little bike shop run by a nice fellow, Ali, and his baby faced assistant, Serkan.

After we got Robin’s bike fixed by our new Turkish friend, we picked up some Turkish food in Turkish town (Kreutzburg), followed by a bar, dancing, another bar, then soup!

pin it!I’m holding a camera in over half of the pics of me on this trip. I guess taking decent photos is one of my main objectives when I travel these days.

pin it!I spent a ton of time doing this: squinting to see the street signs, trying to sound out the 7 syllable names, and poking my pen around the map trying to figure out where we are and where we’re going.

pin it!The weather was spectacular for the entirety of the trip. 65 degrees, clear skies, gentle breeze.

The Jewish Museum consisted of 2 main buildings, one older, and one super modern/high concept building.

After I bought my ticket to Berlin, for a moment, I was worried that my only good food options would be onions, potatoes and sausage. I was SO wrong. Berliners are pretty much the master of all cuisines. The food was delicious across the board. Not to mention beautifully presented.

One really common dish is this pizza on a giant cracker. Amazing.

pin it!Thought I didn’t have the pleasure of trying any, I heard their Asian fusion is phenomenal. Every single restaurant looked amazing. There just wasn’t enough time!
