Catchup: Museums and Köpenik

The next day I decided it was time to go in some free museums. Every Thursday a lot of places are free entrance, so I thought it would be cool to check out some art. My first stop was a contemporary art museum (it was closest to my house and easiest to get to) so I went there...

After the museum, I felt like checking out another place people had recommended. This area is called Köpenik. It used to be a separate town, like Tegel and Neuköln, but also was swallowed up into Berlin. I went across the city to check it out!

They were actually closing the Palace at this time, so I left and walked in the grounds which were still open.

After this I was tired and hungry. I walked a lot, and had to make my way back home eventually. I really can't remember what I did or how I got back at the moment, so I will think on it and leave it like this for now.
