RIU Hotel, very nice |
We walked around a little, then we went to the Mall of Berlin. It was more awesome than any mall in Idaho. We found frozen yogurt, yeah! We had a good explore through Toys R Us, where Mary found good stuff and Pete bought me an 18” doll. She is fabulous! As we were leaving, at 9 pm, all three of us spotted the same store; Pete saw the word ‘krepes’ and thought of Mary and her crepe addiction; Mary actually saw sewing machines and thought of me and sewing; I saw the big word ‘Fabrik’, and thought of me and my addiction. They were actually selling tea. What?? The sewing machines were cut in half and used as decorations on the ends of the shelves.
They had carrousel horses hanging from the ceiling and a big tube slide from the third floor. |
This was the only quilt I saw the entire time I was in Europe. It is made of parts of jeans that are stuffed, apparently advertising the different brands they sell. This is Mall of Berlin. |
My 18" doll is just fabulous! Mary thinks she is fabulous, too! |
Of course you know the Museums of Natural History are all filled full of things from the 'natural world' that have been 'collected'. If they were alive, that means they were killed and stuffed or preserved in formaldehyde for people to study or observe. The Berlin Museum of Natural History is pretty extensive: dinosaurs, insects, birds, fish, fossils, rocks, mammals, plants, etc. Yes, polar bears, fleas, and peacocks!

Between the Underground (train) and our hotel was the most colorful place in Berlin, Delores Burritos. I had to take a photo.
We are currently on a train back to Koblenz. We will spend tomorrow, in Klausen, relaxing and doing laundry. We are hoping to make our connection, in Koln, without incident. Right now, we are running 20 minutes late. TTFN!
