We got back to the hotel at about 5.30 and decided to go to movies. If we left at 6.30 we would be able to see one of three movies showing in their original language (English) at Postdamer Platz. This involved catching an underground subway (U Bahn) and changing at Alexanderplatz. The friendly lady at the hotel reception had told me which numbers to catch and that the service stopped at 1am in the morning but then we could catch a bus No 5.

Well, we didn't leave accoeding to schedule and we were 10 minutes late for our movie so we decided to watch the 10.30 movie instead. Meanwhile, after investigating the possibility of McDonald, Pizza Hut or some more expensive restaurants, we settled for Chinese food at one of the malls nearby.
The roof was amazing - apparently designed to represent Mts Fujiama.
We also got to see a Lego giraffe near the Lego workshop.
The movie we saw was a comedy called "Identity Theif." It was fairly light watching and at least two of us fell asleep for a while during it.We almost had the moviehouse to ourselves.
The movie came out at twenty to One and we rushed off to the U Bahn station. Unfortunatley the next train was only due in 12 minutes and although we got got to Alexander Platz, we were too late for the connection.
So we went looking for a bus stop. Unfortunately each U bahn station has at least 4 entrances and we came out of one that had no sign of a bus stop. We asked at a late night cafe and were told that it was outside the hotel. We had just seen a sign with a curved arrow towards tha hotel when a large taxi came driving past and Danilla waved it down. We each had only to pay two Euro fifty which was in fact cheaper than the combined ticket for our 2 leg journey and we got taken right to our door.. We got home at 1.45 and in bed by 2am. Danilla and I both hope that this is the most adventurous part of our stay.
