Looks like the other Berlin walks don´t go into full swing until May. So I bought a ticket on one of those bus tours.

The walking tour was better, really, but I got to sit down and relax, and get off and poke around in the Sony Center, where I found an electronics store in which I loitered for a while, before getting back on the bus.

The bus was detoured a coupole of times by protesters. We don´t know about what, I imagine something Bush is doing. Also several times just a few minutes ago, I noticed processions of tackily-decorated cars honking for no apparent reason, occasionally slowing down to obstruct traffic... I don´t know what any of it was about.

Also saw the yoo. Got pics of a German tourist more adventurous than I taunting a monkey.

I thought I knew where the Erotikmuseum was from spotting it on the bus tour. I shall see it either tonight or tomorrow, but I won´t miss it. I intend for it to make up for me missing the Red Light District in Amdsterdam.

So what else to do in Berlin... hmmm.

The tacky cars

could well have been a wedding procession. Berliners do crazy things for weddings.

DEFINITELY make sure you go up to the roof of the Berliner Dom. Be sure to see the other Dom (cathedral), too, the teacup-shaped one. I forget the name and address, but it's just a block or two south of Unter den Linden, behind the Opera. It's an easy walk east from Brandenburg Gate to both cathedrals.

Ah, crikey. I just got back from there. And to tell the truth, both the walking tour and the bus tour went by those places.

More kibological was the Bebelplatz, which had a giant H-shaped building in the back.

You could take a short train trip to Potsdam and look at the pretty palaces...

The train back to my hostel terminates in Potsdam Hbf, so that is feasible.
