Summer - another day - off to the lake

30 degrees in Berlin!!!
We did not get up early.
I had a long Yoga session and we discussed for quite some time where we wanted to go.
The Choice was Schlachtensee - despite knowing it would be busy there.

We took the S-Bahn from York Strasse which goes pretty much directly to the lake.
Then walked clockwise, scanning the shore to find a free space between the trees.
All good spots were taken - of course - but we found a shady place to spread our towels and even managed to get into the water for a dip.

We moved to a better place when we saw someone leaving and wrapped up after 6 pm to complete the round around the lake and see all of it.
Also we know now where actually the best spots are …. As do a million of Berliners.

We walked back to the S-Bahn and wondered where we would go for dinner.
We were hot, sweaty and tired.

The choice was Castel Monte Croce in Friesenstrasse.
Wee had some wine and lovely food.
It is actually a really incredible place.
I did not want pasta or pizza and went for fish - it was sooooo gooood!!!

We walked back home - had some cheeky ice cream from the fridge that needed eaten and I was in bed before 12.
