Berlin baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Juleshopping i Berlin!!! A whole weekend shopping, eating and drinking gluhwein! Needless to say it was fantastic! My sister Janne and I went for a weekend before Christmas. Berlin was so easy to get around in, our hotel was great, it was in the middle of the main shopping street:) The shops were open to 10pm every night and the markets never seemed to close. We mainly went there to check out the Christmas markets. There are about 60 markets just in Berlin. We picked out 5 in advance that we wanted to check out. The markets were huge, and they sold all kinds of cool stuff and lots of weird junk. Though every second booth was selling either alcohol or some form of sausages. There were Christmas lights and trees everywhere. It was really the place to get into the Christmas spirit.


This is the first gløgg I had. You never got served in plastic cups....you got these boots instead. If you didn't want your deposit back you could keep the boot.....there's many in my cupboard now.
Janne ordering us some hot chocolate and Jaeger tea. That was some strong stuff! Try it....expect to get a little tipsy!



Janne and I at the Operahouse market.



One amazing christmas tree. We were so impressed. After seeing this tree I didn't get one when I got back anything else just looked sad.

Checkpoint Charlie. We did check out some of the historic sights on our trip. I had 4 museums planned. However we spent hours at Checkpoint Charlie and the museum there. It was really good.

And this is the Berlin wall....not much left of it anymore. I had expected to see a lot of cool grafitti but everything had been ripped of. You could buy pieces of the wall though in all the tourist shops. I got a beer mug instead:)

Janne met some reindeer.....

This is Janne eating a half meter bratwurst!

I tried the really yummy currywurst. Never knew the germans were so crazy about curry.

To top it all of.....chocolate apples
