Since it was Saturday, Konnopke's was closed when we arrived, opening at noon. So we found a coffee shop and had a cup. Elise made friends with a man who had two pugs, Maximus and Felicitas, and I made friends with my coffee cup. When Konnopke's opened, we went and ate. It was good, but not legendary.
We then took the U2 back to Wittenbergplatz and went to Kaufhaus de Westens, aka KaDeWe. This was a MASSIVE department store covering eight floors, the top two of which were for foods and drinks of the world. I had my first Budweiser Budvar and it was pretty good. As I've said before, I'm not a big fan of pilseners, but these are consistently excellent pilseners.
Oh, I got a new watch, too. A swatch.
After KaDeWe, we took the U2 and U7 way down Kurfurstendamm to another highly regarded wurst stand, "Ku'damm 195", at Kurfurstendamm 195. This was far and away the best currywurst we had in the entire Berlin stay. Crunchy, spicy, sweet, this one had it all. We also had Schulteiss pilsener, which was cool for Elise because she has friends back in NC whose last name is Schulteiss.
While Elise had her final performance, I packed my bags and cleaned up the room. Elise packed when she returned, and this morning we woke, checked out, had some breakfast, and went to the train station. We caught the 8:46am train to Dresden.
Auf Wiedersehen, Berlin!

KaDeWe is awesome! I'm glad to see you guys are finding *all* the Currywurst. God bless ya'll for liking it and eating it. We just couldn't do it...
I didn't anticipate liking it, but "when in Rome, do as the Romans..." I bet you might of liked the Ku'damm wurst, which was the most uptown of them all--right in the middle of the ritzy shopping district--quite a juxtaposition!
