    As a part of our walking tour we went to the Holocaust Memorial. I thought it was very meaningful memorial but it appears there is a lot of controversy regarding the memorial. Oh well!

    Moving beyond belief... You wouldn't think that large slabs of precision stone could be so moving. A must!

    An incredible amount of history!

    After watching Australia topple the South Africans in the RWC quarterfinal after a very undeserving win (but a win is a win boys!), then we got a train in the wrong direction to Berlin!! Interestingly enough, Sonja was intrigued by the rugby match, stating 'this is a much better game than Soccer, you get so badly hurt with lots of blood and you …

    Time: 07.34pm Weather: Sunny -5°C

    This morning started a little later than I had intended because my alarm (which I had set last night in a haze of jet lag) turned out to be 07.30pm instead of am. Because of that my breakfast was rather hurried and I missed my bowl of fruit and yogurt. I spent a while on Skype again this morning, it is …

    It's surprising how easy it was for me to fall asleep on board the overnight train. I guess its the rocking... but I did wake up a few times when it became a bit colder... brrrr....

    The train reached Berlin Lichtenberg Station at 745am. After which we alighted to take the S-bahn which is free to Jannowitzbrucke, and then buy a ticket (EUR1 …

    We were both really excited about Berlin and we were pulling a 7-nighter here so took our time to enjoy this fascinating and exciting city.

    We got stuck straight in with a 4-hour segway tour on our first full day there. After a quick practice we were whizzing round at top speed (well, the max we could go which was topped at 20kph, but …

    Day 4 - A Conversation About Space

    Today was an "off" day for running, so I was presented with the option to sleep in for an extra hour before the day, which is exciting to say the least. However, when my eyes popped open at 4:30 this morning, I decided that I was going to take a walk instead. So, I threw on my “warm” clothing, slung my camera over my shoulder and headed …

    Exploring Berlin in a Day

    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 …

    Wednesday 29th February
    Got up way too early for my liking in order to check out, walk to the Metro, get the Metro to the train station, get the bus to the airport and onto my flight to Berlin. I managed to do all this though and made my flight with time to spare (and time to grab breaky at the airport – very important). The …

    Final day in Berlin

    We started out our final day in Berlin with another breakfast at our hostel. The breakfast wasn't quite as good, at one point all they had was cheese, and at another point they only had enormous spoons. Rainy weather had been predicted and was exactly what was occuring. Fortunately, I had planned for this and had a rain proof jacket and an …
