Spent the morning at the Hauptbahnhof getting a ticket to Munich sorted out. HOORAY! I am skipping the Prague leg of the Contiki tour and going straight to Munich for more Oktoberfest and to hang out with Nick and Harry. 
That afternoon we went to the Checkpoint Charlie museum and that whole area was SO touristy I was irritated by the lack of history. The "You are leaving the American sector" sign is still up and the little checkpoint house is still there though. The museum was pretty cool, the way people escaped Eastern Germany was pretty amazing.
Then Sarah and I hung out in Alexanderplatz and did a spot of shopping. I liked how I knew my way around Berlin enough to take people places and stuff, so that was kind of cool. :) Then we headed back to the hostel to get ready for dinner; they took us to a restaurant called Kartoffelnsomething so I knew it would be good (since kartoffel = potato). Then we did a bar crawl to a few places and that was kind of fun, because I could sort of ask for things at the bar and talk to people. That was really fun and it was a good way to bond with the
tour peeps. Downside is that I lost my earring when I was taking a photo with Bevan (the kiwi boy) and then I cut my hand looking for it. :( Oh well. Will buy more earrings here. Stole a beer glass with a monk on it from the last place we were at and got home at like 2am. It was a good night for all. :)
