The last museum of our trip was the Museum für Kommunikation.
We then headed south, to the sparkling new Stone brewery. There were no tours of the brewery itself yet, but the “Bistro & Gardens” certainly are impressive already! The garden and indoor space for drinking and dining are huge, and they have fifty beers on draught, most of them brewed there or in the original American Stone brewery.
For dinner we had the über-German fast food: Currywurst.
Today we visited Museum Island: Alte Nationalgalerie, Pergamonmuseum, Neues Museum and the Altes Museum. We were quite impressed by the humongous buildings and the huge collection of Egyptian, Greek, Roman and other antiquities. Seen Schliemann’s Trojan treasure in real life!
After the tour, we really needed some food, since we skipped lunch. Pulled pork and brisket buns did the trick, and we had our first taste of Berlin craft beers as well.
After dinner, we had some more German beers, to conclude our evening with beers from Stone, an American brewer who recently opened a brewery in Berlin.
Arrived in Berlin on schedule. First order of business — after checking into our hotel — a bus tour, to get a feel for the layout of the city.
We’re on our way! Apparently the 6h25 to Köln isn’t very popular, since we’re almost alone in our carriage.
