After all the strenuous activity of yesterday’s exertions checking out the sights of Berlin (I calculate we walked somewhere between 15-20km all up and my knees are feeling it today) we figured we’d spend the day chilling out. What better way to start it than breakfast on the balcony of our lovely apartment.

Breakfast on the balcony

Later on in the day we went for a walk past a local general store where we stocked up on cheese, fresh bread, dip, salami and a few other tidbits. We kept walking a bit further to the park at the end of the street, found a spot, cracked open the bottle of rosé we’d brought with us and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon under the shade of a huge oak tree. Bliss. Berlin is a truly beautiful city and we look forward to exploring a different part of it (Mitte, north of the river) in a couple of weeks.
