Chicken-y!

The day started slowly with a little lie in, we are on holiday after all! But once 7am rolled around we figured it was best to get a wriggle on with the showers and stuff to get out the door and on the way to Antipodes.
Speaking of the shower, our room has a window that allows a clear two way viewing of the occupant. I had a little too much fun with that while showering and all Emma could do as she lay in bed was shake her pretty little head.
Once the fun was over, we headed off into the Berlin hustle and bustle. A little walking, a couple of trains, a quick couple-selfie.. 
 ..and we were there at Antipodes for some fresh foody goodness and of course, fantastic flat whites! We started with the coffee and then loaded up with... well, look..
..just total yum! I downed a second coffee before grabbing an afghan to go go from their selection of home baked biscuits.
With our bellies full, we headed off and after a little walking we arrived at another coffee place... Bonanza! Coz you know, one can never have too much coffee. (Cue shaky hands!) At this coffee place, Emma grabbed a latte, me another flat white and a couple of bags of beans to take home. For the record, I preferred Antipodes' flat white.
We continued walking the streets and taking in some sights, much street art. Berlin is filled with it and there is a lot of really great stuff. 

We even managed another couple-selfie!

And stumbled across this chicken-y gem! Perhaps my bike could do with such an adornment? lol 

We gradually made out way to the chocolate shop, to purchase some chocolate for ourselves and the parentals for Easter. Nommies... hopefully.
With our chocolate in hand, we decided to head back to the room to unload and have a little rest. A well deserved rest.. it quickly became lunch time... or well a late lunch coz it was well after a normal lunch time so off we toddled to find Kimchi Princess. To get there we apparently had to go thru a pushers street. Ok, I don't actually know if it was but a couple of guys approached us and said stuff, that I could not understand. I ignored and continued on. I did see another dude fiddling with baggies and stuff, which I could only assume was drug related... but I'm no expert.
Anyways we got to where we needed to go, with a little... tiny even, detour from a place that was being renovated. In we went for a little Korean foodage and beer.
A little ice cream was in order so we called into a little ice cream joint that Emma had heard good things about for a couple of scoops..
Beetroot and wasabi - which was really quite good. It was such a unique flavour that we had to give it a go and it paid off.
Cherry - which was great and complimented the beetroot one well. It was creamy and delicious.
With some more walking on the cards we walked around and enjoyed the little shops, made a few little purchases here and there.. one being an aero press coffee maker, yep coffee again! We also grabbed another bag of beans coz.. we can!
With our little bags in our hands we had about 20mins to kill before Hops & Barley opened for a beer so you know, we walked around a little more. Emma managed to not break her ankles, even though she was threatening to many times throughout the day. If it's not me, it's her BUT if Hank is with us then Emma is safe, coz it is Hank who takes that role. However, mostly.. it is just me.
