This week in Berlin

Unter den Linden at 3 pm













That's what men's convenient Toilet "Pissoir" look like or rather used to look like. Very few are left.






Fernsehturm (TV tower: 368m): Tasting "Berliner Weisse" = beer with "Schuss" (a) with raspberry syrup; (b) with Waldmeister (a herb?): strange! but probably quite refreshing on a hot summer day



















View from the rotating top







Our table 10









View from our window: see the clock on the church tower



The old Congress Hall (built soon after the war); Berliners call it affectionately "Pregnant Oyster"






Bundestag Building with "glass" dome which I described earlier









to the left a Barbar ad for the Konzerthaus; to the right, a wing of the French Dom of Berlin




Nationaltheater with Schiller Statue; between the Babar advertisement and at right angle and to the right: Franzoesischer Dom, and Deutscher Dom to (our) left.
