PhotoBox: Berlin Zoo

The Berlin Zoo (Zoologischer Garten Berlin) is the oldest and best known zoo in Germany. With about 1,500 different species and almost 20,500 animals the zoo presents the most comprehensive collection of species in the world.

We've spent today's sunny afternoon there. Enjoy some pictures I managed to make before my camera (again) decided to die. Tip for my friends: for my next birthday present, buy me a lot of batteries :D

PhotoBox: The colors of Tiergarten

Officialy is still Winter, the weather is more Spring-like and the colors on a sunny day in Tiergarten (a big park in the middle of Berlin) makes you feel it is Autumn. Enjoy some pics, we sure did enjoyed our afternoon there :)

P.S.: Tripod is such an useful thing for taking selfies (beside of using it for night photos, of course). I bought a small one here in Berlin, the one you can put it in your pocket and take it everywhere. I am so happy I did so and just because of that, here is an extra picture of us, taken with tripod + self timer :)

PhotoBox: Sanssouci Park

We visited Sanssoci Park on our today's trip to Potsdam. It is a large park, surrounding Sanssoci Palace, where Frederik the Great lived. We would most likely need the whole day to visit all of the sightseeings there (especially with my stops to taking photos :D), but we had just between hour and two, so we walked trought the park without any plans what too see and what not. We would like to go back there one weekend, for the whole day .. But I have a lot of plans already and just 5 more weeks left in Berlin. So I hope I will manage to come back :)

PhotoBox: Brandenburg Gate (by night)

I'm a shitty tourist! I have been here for two months and I haven't visited the most famous place in Germany! Tonight I decided to do so and then I walked all the way from the famous Brandenburg Gate to the Alexander Platz (about 3 km). I walked on Unter den Linden, which is also a very well known street. Today it was kind of empty and boring, but during the Christmas holidays it's magical (I saw it two years ago when I was here for NY) - one more reason why I should come back!

Enjoy some pictures I took on my little night walk :)

Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate)

Statue of Frederick the Great (I love the shadow on the building!)

Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral)

PhotoBox: Ku'damm

Burberry. Chanel. Dolce & Gabanna. Giorgio Armani. Gucci. Lacoste. Prada. Valentino. Welcome to Kurfürsterdamm. The most famous (and the most expencive) shopping avenue in Berlin.
Enjoy the splendor, you will most likely never have enough money to spend a shopping day in this street :) (Who wants to pay 600€ for a bag, anyway? - NOT me!)

P.S.: And this in not all! I did just a bit more than a half of the street (which is long 3.5 km), when the batteries in my camera died (again!). So maybe I will do the next half some other time. But by feet! People were looking at me like they never saw a bike before! :D
