BERLIN! day 3: Sunday we went to Tempelhof


Kreuzburg was really fun!
Here we are at the sub-sub station waiting for the U-Bahn (stops at every single stop) to Tempelhof. Tempelhof is the oldest airport in Berlin and also one of the largest buildings in Europe. It served as the US air force base in the second world war and has since been replaced by two newer airports in Berlin, Tegel and Schönefeld. We read an artikel in the Dazed and Confused magazine about the airport and decided that it's worth the visit. Tempelhof isn't completely deserted - there are still some flights that use this airport

The building is really enormous and it's difficult to know what to photograph.
It looks like a massive monument

We had to book out by 12 and didn't have anywhere to go with all our IKEA shopping, so we took the train back to Dessau.

The end of our trip to Berlin.
But not the end of the kilometre walk from Dessau station to Brauereistraße...
