Berlin

 
So last week, we left for the wedding of our au pair Marie.

 
In Berlin was a temporary exhibition of Amplemännchen, so the kids liked it.
 
 
While walking to The Branderburger Toren, we met our au pair s future husband, who came out for lunch with us, while his bride had to work.
 

In the afternoon, we visited Lego Discovery Center in the Sony building.
 

Even I was impressed about the built lego statues inside. Great place to visit, but you can only visit the center with kids.


DH had to have his picture taken with Star Wars lego, of course...
 


Unter den Linden... really under... eating an ice cream as it was very hot during the weekend.




And then the big day... The wedding:

 


 
The bride and groom were gorgeous, and we had a fantastic day. The location was great, the food was great, everything was perfect.
 
 
Last day in Berlin, we took the bike taxi from Unter den Lidnen to Check Point Charlie with a stop at the piece of wall were there are chewing gums stuck. The boys wanted to stick one of them themselves.

 
We went to the panorama deck at the Raddisson Hotel, great view, fastest elevator in Europe, the boys were inpressed.

 We then took the double decker bus back to the underground, to go back to the car and leave back for home.
 

but not before I bought myself some donuts. As we cant buy them here in Belgium.


And was this a sign about the weekend, when we drove back home, we saw two rainbows over eachother.

Berlin 3rd day


This morning we had breakfast at a local Oriental place, next to where our friend live, OK, this were just two dishes, there were two more... Because we were with four... So after a wonderful breakfast, we went on to visit family, Berlin Tempelhof airport, where we stood on the tarmac as you can see.
 Also funny is that they have a differnt crossing guy in the east part as in teh west part. So a pic of das ampelmännchen. I even bought cookie cutters of him.

 
 Then we went to see a part of the Wall... Really surreal to see it standing there.

 
Tonight we had diner at a local Indian restaurant, and now we are all done for the day.

Berlin

Yesterday I arrived in berlin to visit our previous Aupair and her boyfriend. DH came by car because he was already in germany for work.
We spent some time shopping, great clothes shopping in Berlin.
Today we visited the lego store for the kids. We went to an Absinth store, because I wanted to buy some Absinth and they had some really nice ones, so I bougth some for myself.
After that we walked to Brandenburger Tor to make some pictures and then we walked along Unter den Linden where we made this picture.
