I asked a girl by the tram if this one was going to Potsdam's center. This time it was difficult finding the center. I have been all over Potsdam but now something had changed. She said yes, but we were surly going out of town . I asked again. We went back and then the tram took a turn after almost coming to the center. We had to go back once again. Two stations and then we were there.
IThere are lovely walking streets in Potsdam. There are palaces and gardens, an old Russian colony and more. I have seen those places many times and Adda once but now we were in the walking street. We had some special mushrooms in a restaurant outside and Adda went when one wasp visited us. She had then already eat.
Adda wanted to shop. The walking street was not interesting to her. Just small shops. We found a big shop there Karlstadt which is rather expensive compared to C and A and H M. Well we stayed in there for two hours. Adda had heard of a Shopping Center in Potsdam. On the bus stop I asked a well dressed girl. she said you must take the tram in that direction and it takes about 20 minutes. She told us the stops name and said we must ask again. We did and we had to walk one street. We came to a bridge over the street and there it was.
The center named the Sern Center, meaning Star Center.

These are garages that people rented. I saw them first when I came to the DDR for a visit.

We were hungry. By the railway station in Potsdam is a tower called the Water tower. Adda did not want to sit out side from fear of Wasps. We went in and we should have gone. I did not like it in there. An Indian or something, waited on the people and was obviously the owner. The place stank of beer and he was playing on his computer the whole time. We bought ham and it was dry and bad. I should have given him it back after the first bite but somehow I lacked the courage. We ate a bit and payed 21 Euros. He did not ask us how the dinner was. I would have told him even though I did not expect a refund after having said nothing. Everywhere else we were asked if all was right and if we liked the meal. I bet he knew he had bad meat.
After our disappointment we went here. We knew that this is a first class restaurant . Adda got a baked potato and I ice cream with hot berrys
