By our fourth day, we felt ambitious enough for a stroll to Tiergarten, via Unter den Linden, three miles or so, there and back again, with assorted detours. Some sights along the way...

Street scene from Friedrichstrasse |
|
The Friedrichstadt Palast...gorgeous art deco theater... |
|
Side detail... |
|
Along the river Spree, the famous TV tower rises from Bode Museum |
|
Nearly empty boat tour |
|
The Admirals Palast, another theater; Berlin architecture is already exceeding our expectations |
|
Doner kebap is really big here |
|
Local fashion |
|
More architecture to look into
|
|
William Tell's son slept here? |
|
Another for my collection, Man-hole Covers of the World |
|
Us, there |
|
Reichstag |
|
Strolling in Tiergarten |
|
Ukrainian memorial before the heavily-guarded and cordoned-off Russian embassy |
|
Street scene |

After a panna cotta interlude, we stopped in at the Ampelmann store, which is, in fact, ground zero Berlin; Ampelmann is the East Berlin traffic light figure that, in a fit of irrational nostalgia, Berliners have adopted city-wide |
