The last stop on our first ten-day trip was Berlin, Germany. It was a really neat way to end our trip. We arrived in Berlin on Valentine's Day (not a bad way to spend the day) so naturally we started our evening off with some V-Day cocktails.
After happy hour we headed to a local restaurant and I got the best schnitzel I have ever had. It was schnitzel cordon bleu in a creamy mushroom sauce. So good!
That night we went to a bar called White Trash which was a really cool bar, but we learned apparently people in Berlin don't really go out on Thursday nights. They do Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday- interesting! Also our DJ was a witch...
On Saturday morning we took a walking tour of Berlin. It was a bittt chilly, but a really interesting tour. We saw all the main spots of Berlin and learned a lot about its history. We even stood on the ground above where the bunker was that Hitler stayed and committed suicide.
The old Nazi headquarters. While taking this picture I was standing above Hitler's old bunker and where he committed suicide.

Berlin Wall
After the tour we stopped for a quick lunch and I got goulash soup and a salad.
Then we headed to the Berlin Wall. So cool!
That night we had dinner at the restaurant attached to our hostel which ended up being amazing. I got the most delicious burger and fries- was craving some classic American food!
The next day I explored by myself a bit and went to Alexanderplatz and really got to know the train and metro stations. Then I took the overnight train home to Lugano and had all day Sunday to rest and recover!
