First Day in Berlin

Up at 5.00am for shower and shave and then off to Nikki and Gaz. Gaz drive and we got to Birmingham in good time. Coffee and then food (Smartie shots!) and then flight for 90mins. Slept the whole way

Got a taxi to hotel and checked in by 12.00. Went for a walk into Charlottenburg and saw some of the sights. Found a cafe that was recommended in a book and had a drink in there. Really liked it. Walked into the Tiergartten and around the outside of the zoo and found ours bearings. Walked back to KaDeWe Department Store and went inside for a look around the food hall, amazing place! We had some samples and then found a bar where we had another beer and the girls got a Curry Wurst. Quite nice actually!

Left there and went to the hotel where we had a couple more drinks and then showered and got ready and came down for another couple before heading out for the Elefant restaurant that was booked by Nikki & Gaz before we’d even left England. Walked through the gay district and saw some very interesting shops!!

Got a bit lost but found the restaurant and all was fine. Had a large choice of schnitzel and had an initial problem with ordering drinks but all was fine. 

We had a fantastic meal and then Nik was asking the guy coming over to us if he wanted us to go...quite the opposite. They came over with a tray of Jägermeister and we had shots. The owner, very gay, came over and joined us and we ended up having a lock in. It was such a funny night. We got them drinks and it carried on. So funny. Learned loads but got steaming drunk. Eventually left around 2.00am into thick snow and got lost. Got a taxi, which we isn't need as our hotel was around the corner and crashed out!

Such a fantastic night, something to remember.
