building a castle II

Another busy but great day. Today we visited the Natural History Museum and checked out Tristan which was promptly renamed to fluffy by Rowan. Love the museum, lots and lots of information and really interesting exhibits. The museums in Germany are noticeably different from the UK - there is a lot more to read and they tackle some quite complicated subjects.

Afterwards we visited the Mauer Panorama by Asisi. Again very impressive and I was transported back to the eighties. The rest of the family was also deeply impressed. Onwards via the sticky tape emporium to Alexander Platz and the building site of the City Palace. The building has progressed lots since last time we visited. Still bemused that it replaces the replacement of the original (all one suspects due to ideological reasons). Still we are very excited by the museum that is going to move in once it is finished in a couple of years.

The evening was rounded off by a lovely visit of family friends.

As always more pics on flickr.
