Day 20--From kroner to Euro: Berlin, Day 1

So today was our first day in Berlin!  We woke up at 8:30, which was early considering how late we arrived the night before.  We quickly ate breakfast, then we struggled to find a pass that would give us full access to the Metro and discounts to most of the attractions.  It wasn't too long before we succeeded.  Afterward, we bought a day ticket to the sightseeing on/off bus tour around Berlin.  We got to see the old Berlin wall/Checkpoint Charlie, then we went inside a museum explaining the history of the German Parliament.  We then went to a chocolate place near the museum, which was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.  THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS ON DISPLAY MADE OUT OF CHOCOLATE, INCLUDING THE TITANIC!!!!!  Anyways, I got some chocolate mousse, since I can't leave Germany without experiencing the wonderfulness that is German chocolate.  It was to die for, I mean, I had an Augustus Gloop moment there.  We then went on the bus and saw various attractions, including the TV tower, one of the Holocaust memorials, and the Brandenburg Tower.  We had dinner at a pretty nice restaurant.  (I forget the name, but it started with a "W".)  I had salmon, green beans, and potatoes, which were very good.  We walked around for a while after dinner, including Alexanderplatz.  We didn't expect to see anything there, but since it's Easter weekend, there was some sort of carnival there with food and clothes and even a Merry-Go-Round.  I got a crepe with honey (since it sounded very good), and I got a funky hat with pom-poms that said "Berlin" on it.  After spending time at Alexanderplatz, we went home (well, back to the hostel we're staying at).
