There are I don’t know how many Christmas markets in Berlin, but the one that was repeatedly recommended to me was the one found at Charlottenberg Palace, so after Potsdam we headed over for some more Christmas festivities.

A Little Taste of Nature
I’ve had a bad day for chronic fatigue, so I decided to go on a walk with my camera to capture the beautiful autumn colours to try and see if the outside would help energise me as it sometimes does. It didn’t, I had to get the bus back and I’ve been napping since, but…
