Berlin; Friday, 03 August, 2012

I had a nice long lie-in and woke up to see that the weather had deteriorated overnight into continuous heavy rain. However, as the weather forecast said it was supposed to be improving later I took a risk and headed down to one of the cycle tour providers and booked onto their 4pm tour.

I then picked up the U-Bahn out to the Olympic stadium to have a look around that, and by the time I had taken in the museum it was starting to dry out, so it made going onto the roof of the bell tower worthwhile.

I caught the train back into town and over to Alexanderplatz to join the cycle tour and then spent the rest of the afternoon and the early evening touring round the centre of Berlin by bike, taking in the key sights and stopping off near the Zoo for dinner.

Slightly sore from riding a bike for so long I headed back to the hotel and to bed.
