Strolling around Berlin

As the sun began to dip toward the horizon, the streets of Berlin took on a different character. The hustle and bustle of the daytime rush were replaced by a slower, more relaxed pace. The glow of the streetlamps and the faint hum of distant music lent an air of romance to the city, and Poul, Jonathan, and Amelia strolled through the streets, taking in the sights.

The city was a curious blend of old-world elegance and modernity. The buildings ranged from towering stone structures, reminiscent of an earlier era, to sleek and modernist edifices that spoke of the cutting edge of contemporary design. The streets were alive with the sound of footsteps and the hum of conversation, punctuated by the occasional burst of laughter or the strains of music from a nearby café.
