Alexanderplatz Berlin

It's another windy day today....brrrrrr.....

Woke up at 730am this morning and went to the Hauptbanhof Station to look for food and in the end decided to eat Burger King. I ordered the "Breakfast Burger" while Dawn ordered the "Bacon & Scrambled Egg" which looked super miserable in porpotions!

As today was 1st May, Labour Day …

Today was going to be the big sightseeing day of this mini break.

I got up early and left Samiy in bed to get some breakfast from the buffet. It was a pretty good breakfast and set me up nicely for the day ahead.

The first port of call was Alexanderplatz. We figured out how the clock worked then joined the queue for the Television …

So wow. WhAt a city. I have always said Munich has been my favorite German city. It would take a lot to dethrone that statement. I feel like Berlin has thAt number 1 spot now. The city of Berlin has such an incredible story and history. Not only do you have ww2 history bursting from the city, you have the cold war history and the communist period …

Breakfast and then off on a walk around the sights of Berlin …

At the top of my European bucket list was to visit Germany, and thankfully I was able to sneak the trip in between the end of classes and the beginning of exams. I decided to go to Berlin for two reasons: first, the flight was cheaper, and second, I've heard nothing but good things about traveling there. I opened up the invitation to travel there …

The second day started with us having to go out hunting for breakfast. As the hotel breakfast would have been €12 each we thought it better to try and find a café nearby. Fortunately it was only a 5 minute walk down the round before we found somewhere. It was a nice little café with various types of coffee lining the wooden fascias of the …

After a late night, we slept in and woke up at around 10 am to get dressed and ready for a graffiti walking tour of the city. We grabbed quick ham and cheese croissants while waiting for Georgia, another Australian girl we met at the hostel the previous night, and then walked towards the tour meeting spot. We were about 12-15 people (almost all …

Similar, yet different from past days, we got a different perspective of what the second world war meant here in Germany. Today, our worlds were turned upside down for a few hours.

Starting our day at the Topography of Terror, we passed along side the remains of the Berlin Wall while reading up on the rise and fall of the Nazi regime that …

Chegamos no final do dia 17 em Berlin.
Quando chegamos na primeira estação de trem de Berlin (existem várias), vimos uma galera se arrumando pra sair e resolvemos sair. Quando pisamos na plataforma, vimos que estávamos errados... Too late. A porta do vagão já tinha fechado e não dava mais pra gente reembarcar.
Fomos, então, entender onde …
