today, our first day in berlin, germany and i have learnt many many things...in no particular order...
berlin is a MASSIVE city with so much history its impossible to take it all in
Its always good playing pool with amy after champayne and vodka..she likes to hit my balls in
4 flights of stairs will give me a good looking bum
riding a push bike all day will give you an extremely sore bum
when i say i need to wee...i need to wee right now..and i hate paying for toilets
berlin is a very large city..brenton..our hostel is 10mins from check point charlie..and we thought it didnt look that far on the map so we walked there from hauptbahnhof..with packs..in the hottest part of the day...eeeeeww
berlin is a very long way from krakow
fried apple tastes good with icecream and cinnamon
germans like cream in their coffee
the holocaust memorial and centre in berlin are heart-breaking
aldi champayne really isnt that bad for 2 euro per bottle
the aldi vodka isnt bad either for 9 euro per bottle
The grassy area in front of the beautiful reichstag (parliament) is perfect for an afternoon nap
theres a special part of the path for pushbikes..i nearly lost my nose..
berlin hauptbahnhof (station) is almost like an airport its that big
there were hundreds of escapees through cars, tunnels, planes and speaker boxes across the berlin wall when east berlin (USA) and west (soviets) were separated.
checkpoint charlie has an awesome museum but the actual sight is nothing more then a tourist stop now
the bunkers of the gestapo (german police force during the nazi regime) contain the most chilling pictures i have ever seen.
still have another 2 nights in berlin, and are planning a big day tomorrow and dan and i are celebrating our fifth year anniversary by blowing our budget and going out for dinner.
love to all
love jess
mum, did you get the new number for germany??
love love love oxoxoxo
