*You should be proud of me for dealing with these foreign keyboards... I will go to type "Y" but hey, guess what, there is a Z there instead... -We made it to Berlin, and there is SUCH a different vibe here compared to Paris. Paris was wonderful, don't get me wrong. But everyone here is so friendly and willing to meet new people. The city is als...

Hi guys, i took a very interesting train ride from Lund,Sweden back through Denmark & then the train borded a huge ship & we sailed 45mins across the ocean to Germany. It was then a straight train ride to Berlin. The train station is huge, about 5 stories & it took me a while to find info & metro to get to my Hostel. But alas i did find my way &...

Yesterday was spent sleeping in late, doing festival washing of our pixie clothes and eating horrendous Burger King onion rings because we were too lazy to go out. Generator Hostel is large, industrial and modern and filled with kids backpacking on mum and dads money. There are 900 beds there, all filled and we are sharing a 14 bed dorm and at 1...

Got a seven hour train to Berlin. Got off at the train station we were told to go to and it was pouring rain. To cut a long story short we followed the map that the hostel had given us for two hours only to find that the map was wrong and the hostel was in fact right beside the station we had arrived at. We werent happy bunnys! Anyways Berlin tu...

Since I last posted, I took a weekend trip to Berlin as I had been planning since May to run in the marathon. It's part of the World Marathon Majors and is one of the largest in the world, boasting over 40,000 participants and around 1,000,000 spectators. I also had a strong urge to run this after hearing what a flat and fast course it is, with ...

Hello again, We took a train to Berlin. owever, the computer was not working and we could not get a reservation and thus had to sit in the smoking car. We both left the 4 hour train ride with sore throats. To add to that, we exited the train at the wrong station!! We got off at Spandau, and jenky place that was small and unexciting. So we got ba...

We headed back up to Berlin to meet back up with Rus and to get a bit of recovery after Munich. We again stayed in the Generator hostel near Landsberger Allee, which is close to a 2 €2 kebab stores (one of which i´m convinced is responsible for my slight bout of stomach pain on Saturday night), and a big pool which was good to do some laps ...

It has been about a week since our last message out, but I am sure that our heroine Vivian feels like it has been a month!!! Germany, I did not realize that there are a ton of farms here! The country is fairly flat with rolling hills and lots of farmland. The weather here is much like the weather in Canada, where the day would start off hot and ...

Travel is not travel if things don't go wrong sometimes! I jumped on the train up to Berlin on what should have been a nice easy 6hour trip. But the weather wasn't thinking the same thing as me, and as I travelled North I noticed the sky slowly darkening. Next came the light rain which quickly turned into torrential downpour with thunder, lighte...

We arrived in Berlin on the sunday, and spent an hour or two trying to find a nice place to stay - happened across 'Generator'!!!! It looks like a flash hotel, but it's really a hostel. Loads of beds (over 800 I think), has it's own bar with happy hour, 14 bed dorms, really cheap meals and laundry facilites. Not bad I say. On the Monday morning ...
