Sun May 26 - 23:55 (Berlin)

What a busy day! After our Polski Bus dropped us off at 8:15 am (departing from Warsaw at 23:00), we found our way to the U Bahn and walked to Laura's apartment in Berlin. Her roommate, Veronika, let us in. We put down our things, changed clothes for the new day, and set off for some breakfast- not fulling realizing we would not be able to get back in until 21:00  when Veronika got back from being out of the apartment.
After eating sandwiches, we ventured through the city. To be honest, we wondered more at first since we didn't have a map. We decided to go to the Pergamon Museum, which was an amazing exhibit on classical civilization, Islamic civilization, and Ancient Near East civilization. It was located on Museum Island. Afterwards, we walked back to the U Bahn and found a Ritter Sport store and bought some chocolate. We snacked on a peppermint Ritter Sport bar and it is now my favorite peppermint chocolate bar. Then Ricky tried to get tickets to see Hamlet at a German Theatre, but it was sold out. We got a great meal right after at Graffiti Cafe where we ordered wiener schnitzel and German beer. Following the food, we took the U Bahn to the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag.



We came back to Laura's neighborhood at 9 and Veronika let us in. We got to talk with her for a good while. She was a very nice person. At midnight, Laura came home and we caught up with her before going to sleep.
