Day 158 trading the old for the new Prague to Berlin

As well as Eastern Europe has treated me these past couple of weeks I can't say I am not excited to move onto Germany. At every chance I could I asked travelers what cities should be on the must-see list. A surprisingly large number of people included Berlin in that count. So I planned three days in Berlin en-route to visit a few friends in the northwest for the weekend.

Arriving in Berlin was a breeze. The city is well planned and easily accessible. I found the hostel and had my first Schnitzel and German beer for lunch. It being late afternoon I did as I saw many of the Germans doing and took my book and a bottle or two of beer park and basked in what I now remember is the sun. Man this weather is a lot different than what people tell me is the norm in Europe during the spring.

Later that evening I found the local shopping center and attempted what I am sure will continue for a long time the search for a pair of sandals that are now more needed than ever as my feet are torn up from my walking around Kutna Hora. My normal shoes hurt :{ While walking into the mall I noticed something that only those who have my met my dog Bruno will see or understand to be so peculiar. Bruno is a mut we rescued from a sketchy situation at best. He is extremely loyal to my step-father and barely tolerates the rest of us while being the sweetest, oddest looking dog ever. I once explained them to someone as say....he is stout. with little legs, the mane of a lion and the nose of a deer. He doesn't have a lot of look-a-likes at home and here in Berlin he has a doppleganger. Crazy!
