September in Berlin on Foot

I love Berlin. I really love it.

What I love most about it is the fact, that there is always something to discover. I’m a car girl, I mostly drive through the city. I have a bike now, so sometimes, if the weather is nice I’ll ride that. But I just realized that in Berlin you still “find” areas that you’ve passed a million times but once you WALK through them it’s a whole different story. You don’t even have to drive all the out there, mostly it’s right in front of our nose.

I took a stroll through the Mitte/Kreuzberg area right behind Spittelmarkt the other day and booooy, Berlin suprises me over and over again. That area is not so”kiezig” as we’d say. In a way, it’s empty. The wall used to go through that part of the city and you still feel the notion of it having been a somewhat deserted area for years. You have tons of industrial buildings that are being reconstructed, old impressive houses and then unexpectedly fallow land. It’s amazing. And this September has been just beautiful!

Berlin, I love you!
