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

On Sunday night we noticed some trams<\/a> that ran right up to our apartment building. Oh, that might be a nice alternative. Well, the tram line closed starting today, for the week, for track reconstruction.<\/p>\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

We were starting to feel like the characters in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles<\/em>… <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, Dave’s been in a railfanning happy place being able to see trains about every 5 minutes bypassing this station.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
