Our second day started — after a light breakfast and coffee at KIN + ILK — at the Doctor Who Experience. After this summer it will close its doors permanently, so it was our last chance to visit. It’s a pity cause it’s a kind of “Mecca” for Doctor Who fans. Thereafter we went on the Official Filming Locations tour around Cardiff Bay. For lunch we headed to the Castle Arcade.
Getting there is half the fun, they say. Especially if you can take a break halfway, for coffee and an overdue brunch. Java U is the perfect spot for such a break, conveniently located just outside Paddington station.
After a chilly breakfast at Cafe 1001, and a hot macchiato at Exmouth Coffee, we headed to the Tower of London. The first time we visited London, we were just too late to get access to the Tower, so we were looking forward to be ably to actually visit it this time.
Apparently a cold day in February is an excellent day to avoid queues: there weren’t any!
Our first complete day started well with coffee and breakfast at Nude Espresso.
When you’re in Spitalfields, you have to visit the (ho)spital museum, so we did.
Afterward we went to Sutton House, to discover its history.
Our departure day was cold and rainy — completely the opposite of the previous days — so our daily cup of coffee at the Bonanza Roastery was a welcome break from our last few strolls through Berlin.
We were briefly tempted by the Oktoberfest tent in front of the Hauptbahnhof, but a Maß (liter) of Märzen lost its appeal after all those great beers we had over the last week.
Our first ICE train had a bit of a delay, barely leaving us time to grab something to eat in Köln. We’ll be crossing the border to Belgium soon, signalling the end of this Berlin trip.
However, some more — and better — photos will follow soon!
