Christmas Countdown in Berlin

Christmas started early for us this year as we headed to Berlin to soak up the festive mood at the various Christmas markets.

The Gendarmentmarket was the best of the various markets we went. There were choir carolling,  performances on stage etc. But food wise, they were generally the same for all the markets. Sausages predominates!

Of course these markets were not the most entertaining place for a 1 year old toddler. But Charlotte did enjoyed looking at the lightings everywhere and having junk food! Fries were her favourite! Feeling guilty for feeding her junk, we tried our best to visit some proper eating places so that Charlotte can at least have a proper meal. Pasta was the best bet whenever we travel.

We visited a kindercafe when in Berlin. Not only did the place entertained her, she enjoyed her food as well.

Berlin is considered a kid's friendly destination. We did managed to find something to entertain Charlotte whenever we were on the move. Like a random trampoline area.

We managed to visit the Berlin Wall memorial when the little one was taking a nap too. Travelling with a toddler means only 1 activity a day. It is impossible to do too much in a day.

As we forgo our stroller for this trip, the carrier was my best friend. Charlotte sure did gave me a good workout during this trip. But I think it made moving around much easier. We moved around mainly on public transports and it was a breeze. Derrick was a good navigator.

Waiting for our bus to arrive.

Our hotel was also a good choice. We had a pool where Charlotte could go take a dip in the mornings before we headed out.

4 days in Berlin just flew past with us visiting Christmas markets and allowing Charlotte to have as much play time as possible whenever she was awake. I guess she enjoyed herself as much as we did (it was also very tiring for us everyday when we returned to the hotel. This is the reality of traveling with a kid).

Bye Berlin!
