Christmas in Berlin

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

What a different christmas it has been for us. We had a leisurely start to the day, with bacon and eggs for breakfast. About midday we took the metro into town and went to the Reichstag (German parliament). We joined the queue and went up into the dome, for some great views of the city and an excellent audio guide explaining everything that we were looking at.

Then we went to the Christmas markets at Alexanderplatz, which were fabulous! We explored the stalls, saw the ice rink, saw Santa and tried some local deep fried food and hot wine with amaretto (yum).

More christmas market food. Deep fried dough with garlic cream and capsicum. yum


Now we are watching German tv, and enjoying a slow progression of eating over the night.
