[Europe trip] Station 2 : Berlin

Posted by Unknown at 10:07:00 PM
Second station : Berlin, the capital city of Germany !!!


Stayed at Plus Hostel, Berlin. Nice environment and comfortable room. Should have taken pictures of the room but I have forgotten to do so. Quite hot when we reached Berlin due to heat wave but it's still much more better than Malaysia.


Visited Berlin Zoo, the largest zoological garden in the world. Walking and visiting inside Berlin Zoo is different compare with walking inside Zoo Negara. The weather there was nice, neither too cold nor too hot. Not too tired when walked under this condition. 


This zoo is really really big. We can't even finished walking the whole zoo, but we managed to visit aquarium which is adjacent the zoo with combo ticket. 15 euro for the entrance ticket, if I am not mistaken (again!) . Quite worth because there are many many type of animals inside. Many of the animals are rare and cannot be seen in Malaysia, such as panda (the cutest animal !).

Next attraction in Berlin, the Siegessäule (Victory Column) !



 On top of the column is a gilded statue of the Goddess of Victory, known as “Golden Else”. This column located at the centre of a large roundabout, which we need to cross an underground tunnel in order to reach there. 


Brandenburger Tor (Bradenburger Gate) was followed next. The name of the gate can be remember easily, we remembered it by 'branded burger'. 



We walked about 45 minutes from Siegessäule to Bradenburger Gate. It's really a long way to walk. Luckily the night view of this monumental gate was impressing, if not we are going to explode this gate. Haha... 


And the final attraction of the day, Sony Centre. We walked to there, and again it's another long way to walk. 



The next day, we went to the well-known Berlin wall. Most of the wall has been dismantled since, but some parts still stand. The small pieces of wall is sell as souvenir in Berlin, attached with a post card. Now, it has become the East Side Gallery.










It looks more like results of vandalism, right ? 



Next, Museum Island.

We were just posing in front of the museum. Can't managed to get in due to ticket price and time limit.
Berliner Dom
Berliner Dom is a church (or known as cathedral) in baroque style. But it looks like mosque, isn't it ??? Anyway, it looks really nice and great.

The famous German sausage
The taste was quite nice. We shared this sausage among ourselves (5 person), and 2 small bites of this sausage cost 50 cent for 1 person. 50 cent equal to RM2.50. Expensive, right ? Everything is expensive in Europe !!! >.<

Yoghurt ice cream that chill us up~ taste familiar as Tutti Frutti but cheaper
Last but not least : Fernsehturm (television tower)
Then, it's the end of our second station : Berlin !
