Uli and I went for a long weekend to Berlin (thanks to cheap flights on Easyjet!) to visit his aunt and uncle, and we had a fabulous time exploring and enjoying the city.
It's great fun to travel with someone else once in a while.
We enjoyed some really lovely meals and nice wine with his very generous aunt and uncle in their beautiful home.
Some nice walks, including one to the Botanical Garden, made the gloomy weather a bit brighter.
We also visited the Turkish market and had some fantastic food!
Apple cake at the KaDeWe is really delightful -- trust me on this one -- and makes the afternoon cozy and sweet, even when it is raining/hailing outside!
The city at night is breath-taking and colorful. We enjoyed taking it in on our way to enjoy a showing of the musical Cabaret, which was a fabulous performance, seemingly appropriate in the city in which the Kit Cat Club is supposed to sit, and a good reminder of the complexity and vibrancy of life."Life is a cabaret, old chum..."
Finally, who can resist a genuine Berlin sausage while visiting? This one is dedicated to Dad, one of the greatest hot-dog/sausage aficionados out there!

You have been eating the wrong kind of sausage. ;) If you are in Berlin you have to try curry sausage. They invented this German traditional junk food dish there and is as important as fish'n'chips in UK.
Hugs and cu tonight!

Jenn, you are definitely the poster child for the berlin sausage with your flower hat and head cocked slightly to the side.
I couldn't help but notice the nice long jacket you have, it beats the camel-fur one you bought in Romania!
Thanks for sending me the link to your blog.
