An afternoon at the Berlin Zoo

I finally get a break from the University! In order to write a test, we have to gather at least 50% in our homework marks, which we did, so we can now finally relax a little bit about the hustle of turning in homework every day. 

My days have been pretty much the same: wake up at 6 am, have a slow morning (I love those), go to the lecture from 9 until 11, have lunch and do a little bit of homework, and then come back home to study a little bit more and maybe cook some with friends. On the weekends, the job is calling, both Saturday and Sunday.

I had friends over this week vising around in Berlin. I was not able to join them in their Berlin tour, which was most wonderful including museums and musicals, but I did manage to fit a visit to the Zoo on Monday. Actually, this was my first Zoo visit as an adult. I remember going to a Zoo in Colombia when I was around eight years old, but I do not really recall all the details. Just the elephants!

This will probably one of the two times in my adult life in which I'll go to a zoo, for I do not support the caging of animals. I enjoyed my time in there, but I the space was way too small, specially for the big predators like the lion/lioness cage and the jaguar cages.

Hope you enjoyed the post! Have a lovely weekend!

Heaven café

Last friday my mother was frantic to take me to this café in Heppenheim and I couldn't understand why she was so hectic but as soon as we stepped into the café, I got it. This is the most beautiful café I've ever been in, called Muse Chocolat. The decoration is the cutest thing ever, I'm guessing french renaissance? Well I'm no architectural genius, but exactly this is how I picture my future house.

 

And the food was simply art. You kinda stare at it for a while admiring the work that has been put into it.

 

 There's an open kitchen on the ground floor and you can take a look at the kitchen action while waiting for your dish.

Who wouldn't fall in love with this place? 

If you're ever in Heppenheim, I strongly recommend you to have brunch there, it's most picturesque and lovely. It's located in the Altstadt

Marktstr. 4, 64646 Heppenheim.

Fassbender & Rauch

It turns out that the Brandenburger Tor and the Fernsehturm are not the only important places that you need to visit in Berlin. Some friends and I were walking around Französiche Straße and they started talking about a famous chocolate factory that makes amazing sculptures with chocolate. I didn't know what they were talking about and as I told them, they popped their eyes out at me and said "You've been in Berlin for so long and you haven't been there yet? We're going now". I was surprised, I didn't know that a chocolate shop could make suc a fuzz, but was I wrong! Fassbender & Rausch is amazing, I was blown out by every piece of chocolate on the shelf. If you're passing by Berlin, you should definitely go there!

Look how detailed this is! It's unbelievable!

Cutest toad ever!

This volcano was erupting chocolate in the most delicious way and we couldn't grab a bit! I think they achieved a whole new level of torture

One of the most beautiful chocolate boxes I've ever seen! I'd die for one of these!

We also went to Ritter Sport (I hadn't been there either), but sadly my camera ran out of battery. I did make a Vine while there. I can't explain with words how mindblowing this places are. Besides, you can make your own chocolate mix! I'm definitely going over there again and posting a richer blogpost about this amazing shop. Have a lovely night! xo
