Hi there
Yesterday my family and me had
a wonderful trip to Germanys capitol Berlin! It was the first time in years and the first time ever for me to explore Berlin on my / our own and I can tell you : we had an amazing day! But... we didnt travel alone!
I took Baby Drummer with me and let him have some cute little adventures! Its time for sharing some pics!
Baby Drummer has been with me for some years now. He was a rescue having a chewed ear but I still love him and he is great for modelling the baby suits (those without shoes lol). So, yesterday (
March 17th 2016) was his big day, he travelled to
Berlin with us! He got dressed as an easter bunny since its not long until easter anymore (and I thought it was fun to see, lol).
Heeeere we go!!
Baby Drummer visiting Berlin!

But before we entered any of them, Baby Drummer was brave enough to encounter one of the famous Berliner Bären figures they have standing around in the city. They are part of an art project and all have the same pose but are painted really different, so each one is a bright piece of art!

Pergamon Museum. They show a wonderful collection of antique art, islamic and middel east art.
Here you can see Baby Drummer proudly standing on a part of the stone facade of the caliph castle Mschatta which they have opened for visitors. You can sit there on a terrace and look down or just stand in front of it.

This is my hubby holding him, I took the pic.)

Neue Museum (new museum) where they have an exhibition of ancient egypt !! This one was my favourite! Im have huge interest in ancient egypt and just loved the visit!! I took tons of photos, god knows what I will do with all that stuff, lol. We also saw the original Queen Nofretete bust there but it was forbidden to take pics sadly. Im still kind of shaking when thinking of the moment I looked her in the eye <3 It was amazing!!
Baby Drummer was there too of course, I carried him around in my pocket since we were not allowed to bring any bags or jackets.
There we go, Im really sad this pic got so blurry. Can you spot Drummer? Hes sitting on my head
We are in the cellar on that pic where they keep the mummies and everything about ancient egypt afterlife.

One stop was
Checkpoint Charlie, one of Berlins most famous border stations! Sadly Baby Drummers pic got lost, I cant seem to find it on the harddrive :/
Here though he is in our car when we were looking for a parking spot

Instead have a look at Baby Drummer helping us find a geocache near Checkpoint Charlie! This one was tricky, lol. Really tricky. This grey box was boldly visible all the time but none of us thought it really was the geocache

Im a huge fan and they were advertising a special event at the local Saturn (a technics market were you can buy DVDs, TVs, fridges and household stuff and such). The event included a photo session with one or more of the famous characters (not the actors sadly but well lol). When we arrived there it was already over buuuuut : the people were still there and still in costumes and they took one final pic from me with a White Walker <3 had it framed today, its soooo great lol. (Im such a nerd but that made my day perfect
)
Ok, its a really bad pic, I will scan the original and show it later... crappy handy pic
But still... me and a White Walker <3 <3
