Movie Time!

On our last full day in Berlin we wanted to visit Filmpark Babelsberg, so we took an S-train to Babelsberg station.


This building is the City Hall for Babelsberg I think.


I noticed a sign that pointed the way to Babelsberg Park.


It was a walk of about 1 kilometer the sign said.
It felt a lot longer...


A river!


Wait a minute...
This is a normal park, not a Filmpark!


At least it was pretty there.
But we wanted to go to the Filmpark, so we had to walk all the way back to the station and there we took a bus so we wouldn't get lost again.


Metropolis
I know that movie! We must be at the right place.


Indeed!
There was a long lane with all kinds of statues that had to do with movies.


I think this duck is from a children's TV show.


Not sure if I recognize this dude...


King Kong!


This is 'Das Sandmännchen' (the little sandman). He's from a German TV show for children.


The robot from Metropolis!!
I love Metropolis, it's a really cool Science Fiction movie from 1927.


This is the Luck Dragon from The NeverEnding Story III


A Metropolis film poster.


There were lots of cool displays, like this critter that's also from The NeverEnding Story III if I'm not mistaken.


There were also sketches and artwork.
I really liked this one.


I got to fly on the Luck Dragon's nose!


More cool critters.


This lady was busy making plaster casts for movie props.


A cool mask.


Look out Orc beastie! Indiana Jones is behind you!


Something is behind me as well?



Coming next: More props and monsters.

Exploring Berlin - Egyptians and Other Things

Next we visited the New Museum where they have a large collection of Egyptian statues and art.


I think this is an Egyptian scribe.


Maybe he was the one who wrote all these Egyptian hieroglyphs.


An Egyptian sarcophagus.




The famous bust of Nefertiti is in this museum as well, but you can't take pictures of it, so I took a picture of another statue of Nefertiti.


I think this is Toetanchamon.


There was also some Medieval art.


The other museums on museum isle were closed for renovation.
All in all museum isle is a great place to visit.


The Berliner Dom again.


I also visited the TV tower again.


And the Neptune fountain.


I think this is a really cool fountain.


And we had to visit the Brandenburg Gate as well of course!




After all the walking we went back to our hotel and got some drinks and a snack.

We spend a few hours relaxing and reading.


In the evening we went out for dinner and I got a Lychee cocktail.


We had rice with a spicy dish with potato, bamboo, and bell peppers.

Exploring Berlin - Pergamon Museum

Another day, another breakfast.
This time we didn't need to be somewhere on time, so we could start the day at a more reasonable time.


After breakfast we first went in search for the grocery store. It was a warm, sunny day, so we wanted to make sure to have something to drink with us.


Next we went to museum isle.


The Berliner Dom.




There are lots of cool buildings at the museum isle.


And statues.


We visited the Pergamon museum again!
We have been there before, but it's such a cool museum.


I love the gate of Ishtar.


I think this is some Roman building...


Creepy baby angel.


Cool bearded Babylonian dude.


Bearded Babylonian Bull Dude with wings.


I especially love the cool bird creatures.


They have pine cones!


And another one.


The remnants of a statue.


It said these are lions, but I think they look like tigers.


Another half human, half beast something.


Part of the museum was closed for renovation.


There was a expo on Islamic art.
I really liked this camel.


And this scary bird pitcher.


The remains of an old temple or palace.


Coming next: Egyptians and more.
