This is the first time I actually had Easter off. Not for a day but for 5 days! How could that be wasted by sitting at home? Fortunately, Tina was interested to go to Berlin and Prague. Hence, we had set to go together! Hurray.....
We spent 2 days and a night in Berlin before taking the train to Prague and spent 3 days and 3 nights in Prague.
Instead of taking the flight, we ventured into the option of taking a train ride from Copenhagen to Berlin ad from Berlin to Prague. It was a good experience. The train operated by ICE DB Germany, went into a ship in the midst of the journey and were required to move to deck of the ship. Cool!

My turn! :p
The train interior. It was clean and new. Very comfortable! This is 1st class by the way. The 2nd class seats were as comfortable. We took the 1st class because it came with the offer. A 2 person Eurailpass was cheaper. Since we had not stayed in Europe for more than 6 months at the time of ticket purchase/travel, we had to use Eurailpass. Otherwise, it would be Interrail pass.
All ready for the journey! Water, tea and croissants were provided by the train.Keep the voucher and you are able to request for water and tea throughout the entire journey.

Yay! Arrival at Berlin Hbf!
Our hotel room at A&O Hostel. It's rather reasonable and comfortable for a short stay. Please do not bring huge/heavy luggage. You will have to carry them all the way up via stairs. Yes, no lift. Bitter!
View around the hotel. Its location was rather strategic. A lot of eateries around and it was near the tram and train station was within walking distance.
Good stuff! Kurrywurst! Sausage in curry powder and curry sauce. Very tasty. Have a sudden craving for it now as I post this entry =.=""
The train station (Wittenbergplatz) which leads you to the famous and huge departmental store - KaDaWe
I couldn't recall what was it but the lady was winding the machine and it produced music. Intrigued, I decided to take a shot with the lady and the machine! Haha
As we walked from KaDaWe, we reached the busiest streets in the city. It was filled with shopping malls and shops.
The boy is ssoooo cuuuuuttteeee!
The clock tower.
The lady was very friendly.
The hue of the leaves was lovely. It showed that spring was about to come!
Forgotten what statue is this but it's under construction. Not very impressive. It just stands at the middle of a busy road.
Some memorial statue, which I couldn't recall. Went to snap some photos as it looked good hehe :p
Bradenburg Gate 
Magnificent building, isn't it? If not mistaken, this is the Berlin Dome. 
Admiring the beautiful scenery around the Berlin Dome.
See that? (Not sure what I wanted you to see. Just a post I thought of hehe. Else, it's rather boring to stare right at the camera everytime - thought that's what I had been doing =.=")
"Don't be upset, I shall hold your hand". The lady's expression looked sad and yearning for something or someone.
Tina and I at the National Gallery fountain.
The traffic light icon was something that amused Tina and I. When it was red, the icon showed a standing man. When it was green, the icon showed a walking man. Cute!
It was our last day at Berlin. We decided to have a scrumptious lunch. After searching around, we found a local restaurant with rather good ambience. We turned into carnivors that day. We ordered all the specialties in the menu and they turned out to be meat! Verdict: Germans are carnivorous! As such, they weren't that healthy....but extremely delicious!
Meatball.
Yummy meat loaf.
