Kerrin,
Oh ok, so we were both right. I just hadn’t had time to reboot and update my world capitals list – hehe

Amanda, so glad I’ve touched upon a few of Isaiah’s favorites on the blog! Pumpkin pancakes I recall! Let me know how the currywurst goes!

katy, we can definitely call currywurst a thing – a very hot thing for sure. But it’s true, taken totally out of context, it does seem a bit strange – and an adventurous snack at that!

Mom, Berlin was definitely an excellent option for our trip. And you said it best – eclectic. Such a vast variety of everything – architecture, art, cultures, fashions – and but of course, food too!

Julia, hey now – people in Berlin take their currywurst seriously. I mean, there’s an entire museum devoted to the thing! That’s serious! And definitely can’t see running out of things to do in Berlin – perhaps a city to revisit in the future…

Y, for your next visit then, to put on the list !

Jen, a currywurst tour of Berlin! ha, I love it! They absolutely do love their wursts there, you said it! About your question on the capital – you weren’t dreaming at all, you would have been right, but 20 years ago. Bonn used to be the capital of West Germany but after the reunification of East and West, it was moved to Berlin – here’s a link if you’d like to read more about it: http://geography.about.com/library/misc/blbonnberlin.htm

Hello Kerrin,
I remember watching something on YouTube about a girl who walked around Berlin to sample its many currywursts! I guess they like their wursts there – to have a Museum dedicated to sausages!
By the way, you just gave me plenty of reasons to visit Berlin! Recently, my husband pointed out that Berlin is the capital of Germany. For some reason, I always thought it was Bonn. From where did I get that idea? I’m not sure!!! I must have been dreaming all these years!

Love the photos. I’ve been to Berlin, but didn’t know about the currywurst museum. Definitely a place I would’ve wanted to visit!

Currywurst? Now, if I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it. Seems like such an odd inclusion from my perspective, as I consider Berlin to be quite a serious city. Not that I’ve ever been there, but you know, my perception.

An amazing array of museums though, as you say, for every taste. Sounds like you wouldn’t run out of things to do in that city!

Walking the streets of Berlin and feeling the history of what has happened in that city was heart wrenching. I saw burned out buildings next to glass and steel structures, visited many museums and learned so much that I did not know. I felt that Berlin is a great city….quite interesting. My favorite part of my visit was to read all there was in the Jewish Museum. But of course, I enjoyed tasting all the different foods of Germany! Thank you for choosing Berlin as part of my vacation….Mom

Great to be able to enjoy the museum as well as its buidling. Museum is an interesting place. Good ones have their internal display layout/atmosphere and external building designed for the content exhibited.

I noticed currywurst where we ate at the base of Neuschwanstein. I thought it was strange as I didn’t know it was a “thing” Thanks for letting me know! Next time I’ll try it.

200 museums! that’s impressive. Oh, and thanks for the Currywurst recipe! Isaiah is a fan, so perhaps I can surprise him with this soon…
