This was station was just a few tens of meters from our AirBnB apartment building. But it was closed for the week. Boo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

25 July 22: See that train station in the photo above? That’s the Hackescher Markt S-Bahn station<\/a>, and it’s about 500′ from our apartment building. It was part of what I liked about the AirBnB we rented. This photo was taken from our AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The station is closed for renovations until Thursday. The day after we leave Berlin. So we have to use the Alexanderplatz station<\/a> which is about 0.4 miles away (2000′) which isn’t bad, but it wasn’t expected either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Combine this with the heat and it got us all a little cranky today. Tomorrow should be better, between a cold front that just passed through and no big need to take public transportation anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
