The Berlin Zoo's Oriental Elephant Gate

Today was supposed to be a nice relaxing day at the Berlin Zoo in the morning and then we were supposed to catch our flight to Paris. The Berlin Zoo was nice - it houses the world's broadest variety of species and the set up of the Zoo Garden is nice. The problem is, we had the time of the flight l wrong (had the ticket for a different flight on top) and ended up spending too much time at the zoo and missed our flight! From there it was a nightmare - trying to figure out how to get back to London (our original plans were to fly from Paris) and where to spend the night (or the next few nights if we could not find a way to get out of Berlin). We went back to the hotel we were staying at to see if we could stay another night, but they were fully booked. We asked around several other surrounding hotels, but they happened to be fully booked as well. We did manage to find a vacancy at Hotel Berlin Berlin - this was a lifesaver. Now to try and figure out how to get back to London....
