Bird feeder



Old Cold War radar station


Biggest adventure yet! We climbed every floor (very windy and cold) and went inside the top dome, where a huge radar was kept during the Cold War by East Berlin. Seriously, SO much fun to explore! Ah, best time. We ended up getting kicked out by a tour group that wasn't supposed to be there (Normally they only give tours on weekends...woops). Luckily we had been there a while and had our fun before getting caught..."Next time I see your faces here I will call the polizei!"


Imagine 6 wall-less floors of street art! Each floor was so colorful and full of different styles, it was jaw dropping and fantastic to take in. This is the last picture before my camera died. I was SOOOO sad. But I did have my disposable camera so I will have film pictures of the rest when I get back to the states. At the top was amazing. Best view of the whole city of Berlin! So beautiful. 

Midget exercise bike found on the street. haha

Fabian training for football

Fabian's door full of political stickers

Community gardens at the old Cold War Air Force base that happens to be two blocks down from Martin/Fabian/Andrew's apartment. 


Oh how kale loves/survives the harshest winters!




Martin's street entrance to airport park. 

Probably the best public park in Berlin. This is the old runway. It has to be about 2 miles around.




Missed this opportunity :(


Well known political street artists tag - ((another I didn't get a picture of is 1UP crew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv-xSxVgk-w))

"if you are reading this you are dumb" - Fabian

Oh how true this is!

reppin'

OH we will meet again Berlin, perhaps on this trip?!

I had the best time. I learned so much about Berlin and had perfect tour guides! Seriously one of the most interesting cities I have been to thus far in my life. So full of history!
It absolutely blew my mind away. 

On to Hamburg.
