This was my second time in Berlin. The first time, I didn’t like it so much. But that was many, many years ago. I was looking forward to seeing how I’ve changed as a traveler over the years. Unfortunately, I was sick with shingles (got the OK to travel from my doctor, so don’t worry). My normal travel pace of “go, go go!” was not possible, so this trip ended up as a lesson to slow down and appreciate the little things.
