Yesterday I took the ubahn to Kottenbus Tor and walked over to Orenianstrasse in the Kreuzburg district. I have never been there and just wanted to go down and have a look around. It is very ethnic but an interesting walk. I sat in a park for a while and then continued up the street until I came to Friedrichstrasse. So I shopped through the new Lafayette Gallaries and did not buy anything. Then I walked down Unter den Linden and over to the Berlin Pavillion where I drank 2 Hefeweissens and wrote in my journal. Then I walked past the Reichstag building and along the canal to the Berlin Borse. I have seen this bar on TV on various travel shows and must have walked past it who knows how many times but today I went in. The Borse does not operate until 17 pm so I paid regular price for 2 dark beers. Then it was home and dinner at Weihenstephan. I had pork roast with two klossen and a side salad and it was delicious.
Today I used the last 2 ubahn tickets I had from the 4-pack I had bought, to go to Kurfurstendamm. It was slightly different since the car-attack. There is no more "fair". All the vendors who were around the Gedanknis Kirche are gone. But I walked up and down anyway and bought a pack of 2 undershirts at C&W. I finally made it to KaDeWe! It is the largest Department store, certainly in Germany and the oldest in Berlin. They have everything. The food floor is incredible. I thought of eating there but did not. It is very crowded but the prices are not bad.
Instead I walked down to the Hard Rock. I had 2 Hefeweissen and a club sandwich with spicey fries. Good as always. I always like to have a lunch and a few beers in a Hard Rock. After I came back and slept. Tonight, my last in Berlin this year, I watched Rinaldo get the boot from the World Cup along with the Portuguese team as they lost 1 - 2 to Uruguay.
