A great (and filling) evening - We had a great tour with Hogar (not exactly sure about the spelling). He took on a food tour in an area that we would not have gone to on our own. The food was filling and delicious but he also served up healthy portions of context as to how the food got there. The intertwined history of the area, the waves of immigrants and how they adapted to what was already there was fascinating. Now we know why there are empty beer bottles placed under the trash receptacles.

The best way to spend an afternoon in Berlin. - Wow, superb!!! what a fantastic way to spend the afternoon in Berlin. Our tour guide Will was so knowledgeable about the history of Kreuzberg, Berlin and Germany as a whole, whilst weaving in how this delicious food played a part in this truly interesting part of the world. It truly felt like he was one of our mates, just taking us around to his favorite spots. I can't recommend this tour more highly.
