    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 …

    Things to do when it's raining in Berlin:
    1. Sleep

    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 …

    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 …

    Final day in Berlin

    214 photos

    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 …

    Berlin is a gorgeous city! It has such an amazing history. On our first day we did a four hour walking tour that was so interesting. We saw everything from the Brandenburg Gate to the old resients of Hitler and the Berlin Wall. The history of Germany is incredibly interesting.

    Berlin-a-go-go!


    After a wonderfully relaxed morning chilling out in the hotel room, we actually got off our rather cushy asses and went to the gym. Good lord. Very sweet gym with modern equipment and looking out on to a pretty sun-lit courtyard bar.


    Felling a little more alive after getting the endorphins flowing, we …
