Bemalte Blumen duften nicht. (Painted flowers have no scent)

The morning began with a nice stroll to breakfast. I was looking for a place at the recommendation of Dominick, but was unsuccessful.  

I wound up at a cute place called Cafe Aliba where the whole menu was in German. I pointed to a random item and crossed my fingers. 

For €4,5 I got two croissants, jam, jelly, butter, cream cheese, Nutella, a giant plate of fruit, and a soft boiled egg. 

I then began my walk to Alexanderplatz. 

I walked by some miniature ponies. 

Einstein. 

Crossed the Spree. 

Took a selfie. 

I somehow ended up at the same Christmas market as the previous evening. 

After my glass of Glüwein, I headed back for my flat. 

In the holiday spirit, I decided to treat myself to a Christmas Eve feast. After walking for an hour past closed or fully booked restaurants, I found an opening! 

I enjoyed this delicious steak with croquettes. Delicious. 

I then walked for close to two hours in circles trying to find the bar from the previous evening. I was promised karaoke. For the life of me I could not find it. It doesn't help that it is on a dark side street with no sign. About to give up, I tried one last street and alas! I stumbled into InterTank. 

I enjoyed a few beers and made my way back home... Pizza place being closed :(
