Tanay was making a video of our trip back Magdeburg on the train, so I snapped this picture of his setup with my new camera.
Raccoon
Basia and I saw a raccoon in Plänterwald today. It was adorably cute and came very close to us. It kept diving in and out of this rubbish bin, hunting for food.
Thanks to Basia for sharing this photo
Pfauninsel
Basia and I lost our hiking group, so decided to make a detour to Pfauninsel, which translates to Peacock island in English. It has a total of 30 peacock’s roaming about the island, along with more who live in protective cages.
Memorial to the Sinti and Roma people
Julia and I visited the memorial to the Sinti and Roma people who died during World War 2.
Teufelsberg spy station
I finally visited the former NSA spy station on top of Teufelsberg in Berlin. I’ve walked around it, to it, toward it and anything else you can imagine, but never went into it. I went with my friend Diana who was visiting for the weekend.

Vegan beef tartar
I’m not much of a food blogger, but this was too weird not to mention. I had vegan beef tartar for dinner today. I wouldn’t touch real beef tartar with a pole, but I tried the vegan version. I described it as “a bit weird”. Not bad, just weird. It was apparently made from rice cakes.
