Today, after coffee from Yezda's................

Yezda's my go-to place for coffee and breakfast, just down the street from our AirBnB

.........we walked towards Alexander Platz, past a swimming complex where they seemed to be having aqua-jogging sessions and across a bridge over the river Spree.

We soon came to St Nicholas Church and Museum which held an exhibit called 'Lost Words' by Chiharu Shiota.

Walked to Berlin Dom, up to dome walk, 267 steps

called at Ampelmann to buy 'little green man goods'

Walked to subway then to Eberswalder Strasse for CurryWurst at Konnopke's Imbiss, 

"The founder Max Konnopke was 29 years old when he decided to move from Cottbus to Berlin and become a Wurstmaxe - sausage seller. So began in 1930 the history of Konnopke’s Imbiss, Berlin’s most famous currywurst stand under the Magistrate’s Viaduct in Schönhauser Allee. What started with Max and his Wurstkessel – sausage tray, with his wife, Charlotte at his side, became a Berlin Attraction. Since then it’s all been about sausages, in the war also from time to time about potato fritters. From 1960 onwards the first Currywurst in East Berlin has been available with ketchup to a family recipe. Konnopke’s became a cult. The Currywurst survived reunification and it’s new challenges including the rapid changes in the local area."

MAC to Riechstag and me to nap, met Ronald, wife and father-in-law.
