Day 12- brunch, pedal boat, and coffee

Today was Friday, which means we didn’t have class! I didn’t realize but except for the first week, there’s never class on Fridays! I went and got brunch at a super cute place called Belle Alliance. I had Greek yogurt granola in an adorable bowl made of half of a mini melon!

The cultural program for the day was to go to a park and get on some pedal boats, so after lunch we headed to Treptower park. 

It was absolutely gorgeous, with some cute little stands selling food and trinkets along the waterfront. We pedaled around for an hour (by which time I definitely was starting to get a sunburn), before heading back to shore and grabbing some ice cream. 

We wandered back towards Berlin proper and found the oldest tattoo convention in Europe, the Berlin Tattoo Convention! It would’ve been fun to go inside, but tickets were €20 so we went to a coffeeshop instead. 

Afterwards, we went back to the other American’s hostel and watched movies and chatted until 3am before passing out in a common room.. oops!
