After some driving, an overnight boat ride, and more (fast!) driving (with the all-too-common slow-way-down for a fair bit of construction), we arrived in the suburbs of Berlin where we stayed for a few nights of our fall break. During our time in Berlin we visited both zoos: the Tierpark Berlin, which is in the outskirts of the city, and Zoo Berlin, which is in the Tiergarten in the city center along with the Aquarium. We took the S Bahn into the city from our rented oasis in the suburbs. The rainy weather kept me from snapping as many urban pics as I had intended.
