Today I had a sleep in and decided to take on one of the most popular stops in Berlin, the Berlin Wall. I chose to visit the East Gallery. The East Gallery is repainted every so often by famous artist from around the globe. Peace and unity seem to be the theme throughout the wall. I took wayyyy too many pictures and then stuck my toes in the sand by the river for an hour or so to revel in the sun and read a bit of my book.
My sand hangout for a few hours.
I then made a mad attempt to check things off my list of wish-I-would-have-stayed-here longer list. I only achieved at crossing off one. The Berliner dome. I didn't have enough time to justify going to a gallery as I am meeting Eliza back at the hostel to grab drinks with a Berlinite (?) that I met in Lisbon, Portugal at the near start of this European adventure.

That evening my hostel friend Eliza and I were taken to a great bar with 3.50 euro cocktails by Polina, a fellow traveler I met in Lisbon. Those who have traveled Europe know that is a steal in Western Europe for a drink out on the town. We had a few drinks and talked about the rest of our trip, my German friend's trip to Canada for school. Grand ole' evening followed up by a short nap before an early bus to Dusseldorf where I will be reunited with some travel friends I met on the train to Chiang Mai in Thailand :)
