Berlin

So I will continue the previous blog sometime later because I think it calls for some real time to actually write my absoulte stupidity but for now Berlin!

I arrived in Berlin in the afternoon from a flight from New York stopping over in London which wasn't so bad.
Found the TXL bus okay and then hunted around for the hostel. In fact I headed towards the only hostel I could see on the street to ask them for directions for my hostel but it turns out it was the right one. Hoorah.
After confusing instructions to a dorm 4A which was actually 38? I made it and as I unpacked my lovely friend Fran walked in.
After sweating and worrying about my arrival for a good 24 hours I think it was a nice relief for her.
We headed out into the dreary Berlin weather and city. Or so we thought.
Sandmans tours give free tours in a variety of city's around Europe and they are absolutely amazing.
The next day we went on a 5 hour tour of Berlin with our pasty Irish guide Barry and honestly, it was one of the best things i've ever done.
Berlin is like the saying "never judge a book by it's cover" because behind the plain white page titled "Berlin" there are pages riddled with bullets, covered in blood and secret pages that you'd never find unless you lived there and of course the art takes up a huge chapter.
All in all the book looks like a small read but infact is bursting with thousands of pages of history and culture.

What I really loved about it is that there are many churches that look 300 years old when in fact they're only 100.

We ended up being there on the same weekend as the Reunification of Germany which was also pretty awesome.

And I would love to tell you more but i'm le tired.
So until next time!

Flight changes and Berlin

I last wrote from, actually I think it was from Indiana. Well I come to you from Berlin, Germany today to tell a tale of organised chaos.

I will write down my observations from New York later when I remember to bring my journal down.

So I missed my flight.

and this wasn't just a domestic flight. Oh no. This was New York to Berlin. With a short affair in London.

gah booking hostels for Prague and Dresden has taken all my internet time..
