While I am usually an avid Olympics watcher, this year I did not watch as much as I would like. Instead I was busy traveling and visiting people. But once we were back in Berlin we were able to take advantage of being able to watch the Olympics at Tempelhof Airfield. They had a big screen set up airing the Olympics all day. We brought some beer and sat in the grass watching the Mexico vs. Brazil soccer game. It was a perfect day with some sun and some clouds and 70 degrees.
You could set up camp there all day either bringing in packed food and drinks or buying things from the stands set up around the area. They brought in a bunch of porta-potties too. They cost 50 cents to use, but they were clean! And outside there was a real sink with soap and water. I really don't mind paying to use a bathroom when I know that it will be clean and have toilet paper.
And if just watching the Olympics makes you feel like getting up and being active you were in the perfect spot. You could go onto the runway and rollerblade or bike. If you didn't have your own bike you could rent one or if not into biking you could rent a segway. They also specially set up a soccer field, hockey field, volleyball court, and badminton court for people to play in. And apparently in the mornings they had free yoga and pilates classes. If only we'd found out about this before the second to last day!
