Today we took the S-Bahn all the way out to Potsdam to visit Frederick the Great's hideaway. This small palace and its gardens was where Freddy went to escape the hubbub of Berlin.
Fortunately for us the tours of the palace were backlogged for hours so we had to make do with strolling the gardens. This turned out to be a plus. The gardens are immense, sumptuous and designed to complement the palace.
We strolled for what seemed like hours then headed back to the bus. On the way we spied an inviting beer garden and stopped for lunch. On the bus ride to the S-Bahn we noticed what an interesting city Potsdam is and marked it down for another trip.
Arriving home we decided to search out an interesting spot for dinner and discovered a funky, comfortable hole in the wall. It was obviously a local favourite. The menu was extensive, the prices reasonable, the portions generous and the service top notch. On the whole the wait staff in Germany has been very friendly and professional.
