Erm, got up late... again! Decided to venture somewhere new so I hopped on the U-Bahn and took a very round-about route to the centre of Friedrichshain. Walking back towards Alexanderplatz along Frankfurter Allee is quite an experience. The buildings lining either side of the street are vast and overbearing and apart from a Burger King sign barely visible in the distance you could almost convince oneself that this was still DDR.
I doubled back and wandered down Boxhaganer Straße and Simon-Dach Straße and excellent bakery just outside Frankfurter Tor U-Bahn. Furnished with banana bread and walnut bread I began my journey home on the U8.
