Day 46

  
Today went down to the area around Schlachtensee (specifically in the area near Nikolassee S-Bahn Station) and went swimming.

I left late afternoon (around 5), and took the U-bahn from Nollendorfplatz to Zoologischer Garten, and then took the S-bahn from there to Nikolassee (about a 20 minute ride).  At Nikolassee, I met up with Mark, one of the people I met at the Fanmeile the other day.

We walked from the s-bahn station to a grocery store about 20 minutes away to get some stuff to drink (it was quite hot out).  I didn't bring my camera with, so unfortunately I don't have any pics of the cool houses in the area.  This area in particular is one of the wealthier parts of berlin, so there are lots of houses everywhere, featuring some rather cool looking architecture.

After going to the grocery store, we walked a ways more and finally got to Schlachtensee.  A couple of other people were supposed to come, but they ended up not showing up (apparently this happens a lot according to Mark).  Regardless, the water felt great, and we ended up hanging out by the water for a couple hours.  After that, we walked to a burger king and grabbed something quick to eat, and then headed home.
