I had the choice to go to a birthday party to a family number in the Country . I could not go as Adda did not want to. The whole family went even the old lady.
Adda and I went out at 10 am and came back at 9 pm. What a day. We were walking the whole day and in Herbertstrasse Adda went to the shops. We meant to go to Legoland in Sony Center and we did. Coming out of our train you see Sony Center like this.
Everything is new here and build after Berlin was one city again. Except the clock. This clock is old and famous. There are even songs about it. Lovers used to meet there. All this was no mans land when Berlin was divided and now it is an elegant center.
Sony Center.
In Sony Center.
We found Legoland in Sony Center and in we went. We did not stay long. I bought a T shirt for Thor and Adda some lego for him. He loves to play with it.
Legoland is good for kids that like to play with legos but we left. We wanted to be out in the sunshine. Outside in Sony Center we had lunch. We had the same as the office people there and it was not on the menu. We just asked what the ladies there had and said we wanted the same. It was very good.
Leaving Postdammerplatz and going on a walk
The green man which the East Berliners had and is a symbol of Berlin now.
I met him in Friedrichstrasse , Europes biggest avenue. Which is in East Berlin. Berlin is much more fun since we could go to the East again. I love coming there all the beautiful old houses are there.
Adda with the Berliner bear and I had to be quick because people walked between us.
We are on Unter den Linden.
The old main street of Berlin. There we have the opera and many important buildings. You see the Dom the cathedral and the TV tower in East Berlin which is seen all over. Do you see the cross which the sun reflection makes.The west Berliners used to joke about that.
Here was a very ugly house called The palace of the republic. Before that here was a real palace there and some people want to rebuild it. I don't know what they will do. Some Est Berliners liked the Palace of the republic.
Berlin has many rivers and channels. It is fun going on a boat trip but we did not do it this time.
You know you are in East Berlin if there are trams there. The west Berliners did not keep them. They are so charming, the trams.
The famous red city hall. You can see the Berliner flag on it. Berlin has many city halls.
Now we were on Alexanderplatz or Alex like they call it. It was the main square in East Berlin when the city was divided and still is very important. The clock tells the time of cities in the wold, among them Reykjavík They call it die Weltuhr. World clock,. Many people meet by the clock.
Years ago I went to this shop Saturn to buy CD´s for Gummi. It was not so simple then. Adda wanted to go there now so I went in and I phoned Gummi asking him if I could buy some CD for him. Yes, he sent me a sms and I bought him one. I then waited outside because Adda needed more time.
There is always something happening on Alex and they played such nice music.
We took a bus and went to the center of West Berlin. Kudamm as they call it. Kürfüstendam. and we had dinner there. The church was bombed down and is now a reminder of war. How stupid wars are. The Berliners call the gap the whole in the tooth. There is a new church by the old one.
Now we took the bus number 100. It is a double decker and we sat upstairs. The number hundred goes the same way as the city tour but we went out on Unter den Linden and now we went into the other direction to the Branderburgertor. After that we went home. No one was back from the country when we came.
