Walking along the river we found a Boat Hostel. I wanted to see the table at the entrance and then we decided to talk to the girl at the reception desk. It seemed to be quite nice and she showed us the superior rooms that were available.
At the rear portion of the boat was a nice lounge bar and open air deck. We stopped to have a glass of wine and enjoy being on the river.

Below are picture of the Wall Art Gallery for 2005 10th year of tearing down of the Wall.
The windows of this building were bricked in to keep from looking over the Wall.
That evening for dinner we went to Alexander Platz by the TV Tower and had a German dinner. The weather is great for out door dining.
Edward had Snitzel and I had a Cheese Burger.
What a great way to end the evening.
