It seems like a long time ago now but the weekend before last I visit my German friend Maren together with my friend Tina in Hamburg and we went on a trip to Berlin. This was the start of the snow and it was bitterly cold - we managed a trip to the Reichtstag and the Brandedburg Gate and then had a very long leisurely lunch with Schnitzle and
Kaiserschmaren - Emporer Pancakes (fluffly butter pancakes) with poached plums - soooo delicious - for anyone wanting to try there is a recipe
here.
The new dome on the Reichtstag was made by none other than our own Gherkin designer, Norman Foster. The dome contains a spiral runway so that you can walk up to the top. It is free to go in and definitely worth queuing - even in the snow.

Looks like it was an even colder day than when we queued! but that was August and we weren't dressed up so snugly!
The plums and dumplings sound so yummy - did you find out how to make them?

That sounds like a lovely trip - made even more magical looking by the snow! I can imagine how the plums were perfect after the cold :D
Hannah, did you have your schnitzel and kaiserschmarrn in the Kellerrestaurant at the Brecht Haus? That's exactly what I had there a couple of weeks ago!
