Brandenburg Gate took us most of the morning. Tuesday was the only grey/rainy day we had, the weather was unseasonably warm and sunny! On our way to our next adventure (off to check out East Berlin) we stopped at a restaurant and sat outside to enjoy the wine and beer. On to the metro we headed off to see some more iconic Berlin sights.

| Berlin TV Tower |
The Berlin
TV Tower was kind of fab as we travelled up in a fast lift to enjoy the 360 degree views of Berlin. The great thing about this was, not only is the tower in the old East part so you get a sense of how that must have been before the wall came down, but you can also visually see the change in architectural styles. Overall this part of Berlin felt dirtier and less well maintained (there are multiple development projects underway but that all costs money in difficult economic times).
No idea how one actually reads that clock but we did find Wellington!
Just checking out the architecture.....

| Local City Hall |
Post East Berlin we headed to the more ritzy shopping part of town where we checked out some shops and had a yum meal, again at an outdoor table. Stumbled into this rather cool church, that didn't look much on the outside but proved to be quite stunning from the inside!!!!
