Another very interesting day walking around, absorbing the sights and improving our historical knowledge of Berlin. The first stop was at Reservations Office of the Reichstag Building, for access tomorrow.
We then walked through the Tiergarten, past the Brandenburg Gate, before catching a bus to the DDR Museum, an interactive exhibition of everyday life in East Germany.
After a photostop of the capitalist with Mark & Engels, we again strolled along Unter den Linden, and stopped at the Neue Wache, a memorial for the victims of war and tyranny, which had a wreath laid from the Estonian President by it.
The next stop was at the Lowenbrau am Gendarmenmarkt for some Bavarian pub food, followed by a visit (without sampling or buying!) into the famous Fassbender & Rausch Chocolate shop.
We then returned to Tauentzienstrasse, first to walk through KaDaWe's impressive food hall, then other shops, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and finally for a drink at the rooftop Monkey Bar at the Bikini Hotel (which overlooks the Zoo).
