Berlin biergarten

I'm reporting from a free internet kiosk in a seedy Berlin leather bar where a few of the key placements are different enough to cause me typo problemos. It's day 1 of the Panda!!!!/Puppy Euro Vacaz Spectacular and I am so tired.

We arrived in Berlin after flying all night long at 8:30am. Let me tell you that Berlin on a Sunday morning is a prettz sleepz place. Our hotel room wasn´t readz for us to check in, so we decided to go for a little walky even though we both were tired, sweaty and kinda cranky.

From our hotel in Schöeneberg, we walked along the Tiergarten and ended up in the Sony Center in Potsdamer Platz. We stumbled upon some remnants of the Berlin Wall, took some obligatory photos and got ourselves to the nearest Starbucks before heading back to the hotel for a much-needed nap.

Once rested, Frannie met us and took us past the zoo and we ended up at a verz cute little biergarten. We tried the local Berliner Weiße, beer that's mixed with either a green or red concoction that makes it sticky-sweet. It was so nice to catch up with Frannie and to think through our remaining time in the city.

Puppy and I rested up again, then went in search for dinner. Strangely enough, we landed at a Mexican restaurant near our hotel because we were two of the only people in the whole city who were ready to eat dinner at 7pm. Most places were still closed and we were surrounded by geezers for the early bird special. Clearly, it wasn't authentic Mexican dining, but it was still quite good.

After dinner, we walked over to find some local gay bars and ended up at one tiny one that smelled like poop and where the bartender smoked while pouring drinks. We tried a local `Buffalo grass wodka´ and headed to another bar, which was much more happening. Bar two had furry walls and a nice laid-back vibe.

Heading back to the hotel, Puppy insisted we stop at one last bar, which brought us to the leather bar showing dirty movies. I was kicked off the internet machine because a local prostitute needed to show his big fat trick for the night his prostitution-whore website. It was like a menu of all sorts of young men. I think they were reviewing his rates.
