A New Day, Another Donut

Saturday May 23, 2009

We awoke on Saturday morning -- refreshed. We went to breakfast at Hotel Otto's breakfast buffet on the rooftop of the hotel. The service included amazing fresh breads, a variety of fancy jams and Nutella, cured meats and cheeses, and the fixin's for mimosas. What a great way to start the day! Even better...our luggage arrived in the hotel lobby right after breakfast so we were able to change into fresh clothes before hitting the town.

As you'll see, we covered a lot of ground today.

We walked from our hotel to the Zoologischer Garten S-Bahn station. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the Dunkin' Donuts along the concourse. I took a picture, but alas, that one was lost along with my camera in Prague so you'll have to take my word that it was there. It's no surprise that Germans like doughnuts. The city even has one named after it -- the Berliner. I was just surprised that they had wholeheartedly embraced the American franchise.
