Australia Day in Berlin

For Australia Day celebrations we went to a bar in the Berlin-Mitte area (the centre of Berlin).

The bar was 'Belushis' and is located right next to the Rosa Luxemburg Platz U-bahn. Very easy to get to for us.

Belushi's was holding 'Berlins biggest Aussie party'. Well that's what the sign said.

We went inside and caught up with Tom and Danika who were already there.

The bar started to fill up pretty quickly after we arrived, and we were straight into the beers. We were preferring German beers over the VB on offer. The bar staff kept threatening to stop selling German beers, but we managed to keep them coming all night.

Not long after our arrival, our new friend Mackenzie arrived to complement our group. It was a lot of fun throwing back the beers with our new friends.

Then at 5 O'clock the Jaegermeister special of 1 Euro per shot kicked in...so of course we had to participate. It is Australia Day yea? So we got the first round.

Concurrently with the Jaegermeister special, the Carlsberg special had also kicked in. This is for 2 Carlsbergs for 3.50 Euros. Tom and Mackenzie disappeared and came back with 5 Jaegermeisters and 6 Carlsbergs. Tom was chuffed he managed to carry all Jaegers in one go, whereas it had taken me two trips to complete the journey before.

By now the place was pretty busy and a lot of people were eating meat pies. We wondered where they were getting them in Germany and if they were name brands. Tom had tried one and said they were horrible. None of the rest of us bothered after that.

After a good stint at Belushi's we left to go see to the dog, while the others stayed back for more 'specials' and maybe even to party on somewhere else!

Lucky the station was so close by as it was pretty cold by now and we were ready to get home, feed the dog and have some kind of thrown together dinner.
