Berlin 2

9am.
After chilling at the hostel for a short while yesterday, we went for a walk around the city, taking in the sights of the Potsdamer Platz, Sony Centre, Brandenburg Gate, Bundestag, and up Friedrishstraβe towards Oranienburger Straβe where we had dinner in Oranium. Dan was less than impressed with his, somewhat dull, blood meat sausages, although I was impressed with my cajun chicken and rice.
After this we went for a stroll along the street being approached many times by ladies selling their services, apparently a popular occurrence in this area. We declined the offers and continued our search for a beer or two. After finding an outdoor bar with a beach (!) we stayed there for a pint (or 0.5l as the case may be), decided it was too cold and went in search of an indoor bar, finally finding Silberfisch which was playing the somewhat familiar hits by the likes of Nirvana, Puddle of Mudd, The Who, Oasis and many more rock legends...
Left there around 2.30am and wandered back through the streets to the hostel, stopping for photos with a couple of the Berlin Bears on the way back. A quick look at Checkpoint Charlie on the way home provided a brief cultural interlude.
About to set off for Poland...around 370 miles to go. Jonny will be joining us there after a delayed start. Lets hit the road!
