Today we experienced our first true Berlin brunch. Berliners take Sunday brunch very seriously. Typically a Sunday brunch lasts from 11am to 4pm, and many people do end up staying the entire time. A delicious all-you-can-eat feast costs a measly 8 Euros, and you leave feeling like you've eaten enough goodness to last you until next Sunday. Each restaurant boasts their own individual brunch flair. We happened to attend brunch at an Italian restaurant this morning, so ours was equipped with mouth-watering tiramasu as well as assorted meats, cheeses and fruits. I have recently discovered "apfelschorle", which is a slightly fizzy applejuice, and surprisingly thirst-quenching. Ooh this brunch thing could definitely become a habit!
After eating to our heart's content, we decided burn off some calories by walking to Mauer Park in Prenzlaur Berg. This park is the old site of the Berlin wall ("mauer" means "wall" for those beginner German students!) and each Sunday there is a HUGE flea market here. The market draws many Berliners alike in search of various items - anything from clothing to bike parts to....you name it, you'll probably find it! Mostly it was heaps and heaps of junk.....but one person's junk is another person's treasure, right? We had our eye on some used furniture that we could use in our new apartment, as well as some light fixtures, kitchen supplies, and home decor. We also found another flea market one block away from our new apartment (which we'll be moving to in a week!) so we're excited to get back there once we're in the neighborhood. Here's a video of us at the market checking out the goods....including a wig that Matt wouldn't let me buy :)
