After that we grabbed a late lunch at this cute Italian place next to one of the biggest malls in Germany. Fortunately for my bank account, this mall was closed, as were many things because of the holiday. But, there was a Christmas market!
The Christmas market we stumbled upon was right by this old cathedral that is partially standing as a reminder of World War II. The main part of it that still exists is its broken steeple as you can see in the photos I'll post later. The stalls had some good loot, like chocolate covered strawberries! And some nice options for souvenirs.
After walking through, we headed to the Berlin TV Tower to see if we could get to go to the top. Alas, the wait was 4.5 hours and we aren't about that life. So we just took pictures of it instead :)
But at this point it's approaching 8pm so we thought to head to a bar for a drink before trying to nap before the Alabama game. This was easier said than done as Ben forced us to walk to multiple places that were closed. That was cold, Ben. Real cold. Literally.
But we found a bar that was open and grabbed a beer. It was called Cake but they didn't have any cake :( but they did play the band Cake so there's that. We also met a nice Swedish guy who probably asked us about 8 times where we were from. He may or may not have been on something...
After that, back to the apartment we went! We called around to a couple of places to see if they would have the game on but none of them would be open until the end of it (booooooo). So we ended up ordering some (surprisingly) good sushi and pizza and turned on the TVs to watch the FSU massacre. I don't even feel bad for Jameis at all.
And now we wait, because our game is on at 3am local time. Worth it! I will never forsake my team! ROLL TIDE!
