The rain was still coming down in torrents, but when did rain ever stop a Scotsman? Time to get some sightseeing done!
First stop on my list was Cafe Sybille, a museum with some stuff about the East Germans in it. After walking in the pishing rain to get there the place was shut. Great start!
Next I decided to go to the DDR museum, again a museum about the East (the DDR bit might have given that away), as you no doubt know I'm a massive communist so I love all that sort of guff. The museum was quite small, but had some interesting exhibits, including a fully furnished DDR style apartment. There was also an entire wall dedicated to nudism, apparently they were big into that in the east, who knew? After an hour or two of looking at that wall I decided to move on.
I jumped on the S-bahn next, to go to the Berlin zoo. The bloke at the entrance said it wouldn't really be worthwhile as most of the animals were in their huts, apparently raging at the rain. So I took his advice and hit a slack bolt back to the subway, but what's this? A bloke giving me a flier for the erotic museum across the road? That sounds like something I would enjoy!
The erotic museum can only be described as the most hilarious place which is supposed to be serious I've ever been to. I tried wandering around with the other people who were really interested in the history of erotica, but there's only so many Japanese cartoons of comically sized genitalia you can look at before you have to burst out laughing. Apparently laughing is frowned upon, so I left them to it and fired back to the hostel for a kip before the big night out with the lads!
The lads had got some Irish birds back to the room for some pre-club bevvying, and luckily enough one of the lasses spoke Spanish so we had an interpreter for the night! We all ended up in a club called "The Matrix" which was a bit of a hole, but the lads were cracking banter. On the way back to the hostel the lads got chatting to some more females, honestly these Spanish boys don't even have to try, it's incredible to watch them in action.
Back to the hostel and it was bed time for me (it was 6 in the morning after all) but the rest of the lads stayed up drinking in the bar, don't think they'll be seeing many sights tomorrow!
