I didn’t sleep particularly well. First was simply the time frame, going to bed at 5:30 am for the second night in a row. Second was the bed: it’s a converted hospital bed, I guess, with the mattress just a foam cushion on the metal base, neither thick nor pleasant and with a joint in it 1/3 of the way down to allow for folding or angling. Worst, though, was the club music from the Connection disco, which vibrated the entire building, and apparently continued until 7 am. I fell asleep before then, but it would not have been a good sleep. The owner of the Kinky Tulip tells me that other rooms had it worse, but I’ not convinced he is right; since I could see the back of the bar from my window, I think I was closest to the music.
After a nice breakfast (the Kinky Tulip has a nice kitchen/living room, with self-serve breakfast and snacks available for whenever you crawl out of bed) and blogging time, I cruised around the Schöneberg neighborhood, buying some souvenirs and such.
Had a beer at a bar near the Kinky Tulip, and then dinner at Trattoria á Muntagnola, a south Italian cuisine cafe, where I had Insalata Pomodoro and Gnocchi di Ricotta (in sage and butter sauce). This was one of one a couple nicer meals I had during the trip, rather than mostly quick/fast food and the like.
That evening, I went to a private party.
