hello mommy. hi jethro, old cookie crumbler!
today was the perfect day for something very special.
no perfect day should ever start without a perfect breakfast with friends.
... and jam!
then we went to the town centre.
perfect wheather for a DICE WALK!
all you need is a die, which would tell you were to go. so we marked a die: S for straight ahead, L for left and R for right turn. so you would be lead to areas where you normally would not come to. we have made a lot of photos of buildings, streets and other stuff. not every photo needs an explanation, some are just there to look at them.
ok, let's start! first corner, the die said "left".
so we started at the former postfuhramt. it is where all parcels and lettres came into town from abroad and had been packed to cars to be delivered to the people. now it is an art gallery.
on our way we have seen a lot of funny graffitis.
next corner: the die said "right".
sometimes when throwing the die it tells you to go through a backyard. well: dice walk is dice walk.
"claichens ballhaus" - an old beer garden and a ball room in a run down house. time for a little beer.
next corner: "straight".
"straight" again.
time for a coffee at "hackbarth's".
after the coffee we had to turn left.
oh, look: the television tower at alexander square.
next turn - left again.
what ever this would mean ...
hey, there is still an R on the die!
sometimes people see stars in this town.
left ...
... but first - a short break in the sun. thanks to who ever placed this sofa out here!
left again.
oooohoooo - spooky.
next corner: left ...
hm ... let's see.
this was a short cut to the next street.
have you ever heard of "toylets"? is it a restroom for toysvoyagers?
what an exquisite colour!
hey: "sopie's corner" - let's have a drink and continue.
left ...
saint sophie's church was closed for renovation.
berlin's smallest beergarden. time for another beer? yes, of course!
a chilled beer is a good base for a burger.
then: right turn.
the rules say: at each corner you haveto throw your die. this is to round for being called a corner, isn't it?
yes: me too!
next corner: S for straight ahead.
what a pity. left looks also interesting.
this is a little detour ...
... to a CTM - a cookies teller machine. yummy cookies.
this is "new synagogue". we were inside. but photos wre not allowed. well it is only the entrance left over. the prayer hall was destroyed in 1938.
"water for the dogs" - hey can't anybody imagine, that elephants are also thirsty sometimes?
"tacheles" - a riun of world war two, now an alternative art project, then a large shopping passage.
here we finished our dice walk. we have seen many unknown interesting places. it really was fun!
bye bye, see later!
