Abandoned ice factory and Eastside Gallery
... and strange to think that this was one of many abandoned building in Berlin that we didn’t make it to.
We then walked from one end of the Eastside Gallery to the other. Amazing graffiti, but it was a shame that a lot of had little additions to it that was done by other people in recent years like little notes with sharpies or spray paint, but still awesome nonetheless.
