The Berlin Tanz der Vampire Steinmeet - Day 2

First order of the day, well after breakfast, was to get the U-Bahn to Alexanderplatz where one of the passageways had been converted into part of Krolock's castle. Very nicely done -





And as you can see, they even arranged to have the place haunted :-)



Or perhaps those were passengers from a ghost train... (sorry!).

Later on we managed to find the "Kloblauchhaus Museum". What, a museum dedicated to garlic??



No, sadly, it's all about the Knoblauch family. I just hope they weren't infamous for having foul breath!

And here's a famous Berlin landmark -



in front of some tower or other ;-).

A little later we saw some tourists nearly walk into the path of this thing:




Hmmm, maybe we could hire this for our next SteinTrip? Wouldn't that be cool? ;-)

On to the evening, where we had a meal before the show. Here's Markus at the head of the table. Or was his detached head the head of the table?



And here's Will outside the theatre. Even in the absence of food he's trying to eat again ;-)



The show itself was good, though Thomas Borchert (who was excellent in the concert in Vienna) wasn't present, and was replaced by Jack Ribaldi aka Graf Von Spitalot. I wasn't impressed.

After the show we cleaned ourselves off, put up our umbrellas (which would have been even more useful inside the auditorium) and walked along to this appropriately named place:



I don't know if Markus and Brian were ready for this assault from the Paparazzi -



but they did a sterling job of Heaven Can Wait. Such a good job that the Heathens Couldn't Wait to leave the bar and find somewhere quieter! Anyway, here's their rendition:
