Today spring has finally properly SPRUNG! It was our first proper sunny and warm day since we got here.
'Lets go out!' I said to Mama and Papa.
'I'm a step ahead of you Barn' Said Papa, 'We're going to the beach!'
'You're shitting me' I said. 'There's no bloody beach here in Berlin'.
'There sure is, and inland beach, and its only a tram ride away!' retorted my smart ass Papa.
'Well, let's go then people!'
So we hopped off down the road to our nearby Tram M13. All of us outside for the first time without our winter jackets - yea, even me!
The tram took only about 20 minutes and we went through our normal Berlin and to the district of Weissensee. The tram had stopped outside of a park and we walked through it to see it was dominated by a lake.
People were outside, drawn by the first real sun of the year. It was so nice.
We walked around to the 'beach' area. This is a fenced off area and you need to walk through some 'cabiney' type structure to come out on the other side to the beach.

The beach wasn't super crowded but it was busy.
I wasn't allowed on the sand area so we had to stay on the terrace at the top.
This was a good spot for people watching. It was obviously too cold for people to go in the water. A few children tried to go in but as soon as they touched the water they quickly ran away.
We watched as a mother and her son played some beach football by themselves, people laying on picnic rugs and mostly everyone rather overdressed for what we would consider 'beach wear'.
Mama and Papa got a beer as we watched the day go by. I took shade under the table.
It was so nice to be outside and enjoy the great weather for a change.
I liked this place and would like to come back...maybe with a bowl of water next time though.
As we left Mama and Papa said they would come back with their friends. They didn't mention if I was invited too?
