Strolling in Schalchtensee
Day 2 - Berlin
Upon arrival in Berlin, we explored our friend's neighbourhood and the kids went for a swim in the lake before we ate a real meal!
This neighbourhood was originally developed as a military base. You can see remnants of it as you walk around the neighbourhood. There is a retaining wall along the lake, old officers' quarters and garages that have been converted to lovely homes.
Our host is renting what looks like a modern home, but is really quite old and quite unassuming from the front. However, the light coming in the windows at the back and the sides, together with beautiful wooden floors, makes it really warm and inviting.
