Sea Life/Aqua Dom

AquaDom / SEA LIFE Berlin

is located in the heart of Berlin,

....just a short walk from our hotel
(Hotel Indigo) in Alexanderplatz.

Sea Life Showcases magnificent collection

of fresh water and salt water aquariums...

...containing  the bewildering

colors of the underwater world.

A highlight of a visit to SEA LIFE

is the breathtaking ride in their unique AquaDom.

Or the  “DomAquarée".

The AquaDom

is the largest cylindrical tank in the world,

....it is hollowed at the core



and guests are hoisted upwards
by a three level elevator

inside the cylinder containing over 1 million liters of water

offering a 360 degree view of the aquarium

...and you are enveloped with water from head to toe

and all around you is a kaleidoscopic display
of coral reef and hundreds of stunning fish -



...with the Radission Blue Hotel on the background
as the facilty is located at the hotel's atruim ,
the feeling of seeing a modern buulding 
submerged under the sea is surreal

 

and the perfect finale to a fun- filled visit

to the SEA LIFE Berlin.

Feast

Shi Mai Vietnamese Restaurant, Berlin

No one would miss the sight

of Shi Mai Vietnamese Restaurant

It  is located right at the exit

of the AquaDom …

....and the festive sight of the
multicolored lanterns adorning the ceiling
is an eye catcher.

Aside from the colorful lanterns-

various oriental spices are displayed on a counter…

…and serves as a preview of the extraordinary

Vietnamese cuisine that they specialize.

The restaurant décor is a feast for the senses

featuring the extraordinary icons

and images of the exotic Asian Culture

I ordered Vietnamese Noodles

topped with Spring Rolls…

My daughter had a Roast Duck

My wife and young son shared

the grilled Salmon…

We traveled to Ho Chi Minh City

about a year ago and my family

got addicted to Vietnamese Cuisine.

Vietnamese food

never disappoints.

Shi Mai did not disappoint.
