Unser kleines Berlin

Exactly one year after our last holiday in France, my husband and I decided to make a city trip to Berlin this summer. For my husband it was very important we make this trip, so that he can finally go visit some of his close friends back to Germany, something that got delayed by almost 2 years because of the pandemic!

I had been to Berlin before, but somehow on my previous trips I didn’t realise what a foodie heaven Berlin is, and a city full of plant lovers who you can easily spot by looking at their balcony from the street. I really like how Berliners connect with nature, even though they live in a big city 😎

A huge highlight of our trip was a visit to Till‘s garden plot. I was already in love with this oasis of quiet and beauty, but when it got dark and he turned on the garden lights, I realised that I had painted this scene just weeks before! We had found the “Place that only we know”. Goose bumps!!

This video is called “Unser kleines Berlin”, because Berlin is huge, but we only spent time in a small part of it.

And finally, on the way back from Berlin, we stopped in Leipzig. That’s where I met my artist friend Saskia in person for the first time. She’s not in the video though — we had so much fun that we completely forgot to take any photos or videos!!!😂🇩🇪👨🏻‍🎨

Do you know the ice cubes can somehow indicate the alcohol culture of the city? I am so amazed by this crystal clear ice balls which I found in Berlin’s supermarket. And this make me so curious why they provide such fancy ice cubes, and then-later I noticed Berliners love cocktails, especially gin and tonic, so ! to be able to enjoy the perfect drink anytime anywhere, this ice balls become super easy to get. But this is only my assumption, could possibly incorrect 😁.Nevertheless, I think I getting toward to a Gin tonic kinda of gay now, taste lightly bitter but still sour refreshing. 👨🏻🍋🍸

Someone please call nine wine wine 😂

(left)Arroz de carne_ the best Portuguese food I ever had... sausage, chicken, porks and stew with rice in tomato sauce.

Be as you wish to seem.

At Till's lovely apartment ,we were having our pre_dinner snacks at the balcony, nothing very fancy, but they taste extraordinary delicious by being original. I especially love that beach 🏖 umbrella, it’s gives me a feeling we were chill on the beach somehow👨🏻‍🎨 Hmmm

Somewhere only we know in real life.

24 hours in Leipzig.

If you buy stuff you love, regardless of era or price, your home will be true reflection of you. So ! What do you think these souvenirs I bought from Berlin tell you about me?
