I already wrote half this post, then forgot to save! So this update will be much shorter than planned.<\/p>\n

First I went to the Alte Museum in the Museums island area near where we were staying. But I was museumed out so only looked at the Greek myths and legends and jewelry section. I decided to skip the Neue Museum due to the queue.<\/p>\n

It was pretty miserable and rainy on Friday, ghost kite got injured and has since retired due to getting the plastic ripped at the button which kept the hood on. I have picked up a new tourist style rain poncho, who is nicknamed the Grey Ghost! He was free at an underground station.<\/p>\n

I then went to hackescher Markt, where I looked around the hackescher hofe, which was a pretty neat boutiquey place, and had the original traffic light man shop. The traffic light man is cute because he is kinda funny shaped (only has 1 arm on the go light) and wears a hat. But didn’t buy anything.<\/p>\n

Then I went to potsdamer platz again. Nearby I saw a symbol on the map for a remaining watch tower so I went and took a photo of it. It was right by the Salvidor Dali Museum so I decided to hide from the rain and go for a look. It was very interesting art work, and I liked the Alice in wonderland series and also the sculptures best.<\/p>\n

Then I went to grab lunch and wander around the shops until I went to see Bad Teacher at the movies and have Nachos and Beer in the cinema. Because I could, and it suited the tone of the movie I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
