Brrrrrlin

After breakfast we took a trip to Berlin Zoo where we saw lots of different animals including the famous polar bear, Knut. We spent about 3 hours walking around the zoo, hopping in and out if the different buildings to escape the cold.

From the zoo, we walked to get some lunch. on the way we stopped to buy a few souvenirs. We also needed to find a sewing kit for our suitcase which has broken again (just a little stitching has come loose).

After a trip to the shops at Freidrichstraße, and then Alexanderplatz, we eventually got one quite cheap.

Whilst at Alexanderplatz, we also ja a little wander around the Christmas Market before taking the U-Bahn to Checkpoint Charlie. This was the famous crossing on the Berlin Wall, where Soviet and American tanks sat face to face hours during the Cold War.

Just a short walk from there, we visited a small remaining section of the Wall to take some photos and then headed back to the hotel.
