Seehotel Fontane Neuruppin

Today we packed our bags and headed off to the airport. We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. We checked in, got through security.... after they closely inspected Matt PSP (Playstation Portable games - little disks), finally working out that they were games once seeing the pictures on them. We went through all the different section...

...and future most promising. After so many years of anything but, change scares me. That fear definitely soured my initial opinion of Berlin. Today was even hotter than yesterday - 38C! - but this time I was prepared for it. Yesterday, I stumbled around central Berlin, took a few brief video shots of the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag (yes,...

After another good breaky at the hotel, we cruised into the city again and went on a boat ride around the Spree River (kind of nice, but too touristy). Next, we went to see if we could buy cheap tickets for a really popular performance called The Blue Man Group, but with no success. We decided we might go shopping and buy some better shoes, when...

AHHH! Last night in Berlin! Is going to be very relaxed with me just sleeping and preparing for the hideous flight back. Friday night I met up with Rosa, Maria Elena and Janela and had fine fine Italian pizza with them, before heading off to a house party where I saw some other ERASMUS peeps that I thought I´d never see again. Twas a good party ...

Driving in Germany Germany is not one of those countries where Americans typically have "meaning of life" experiences. There are no tribal peoples that are living like they did 300 years ago, there are no temples or strange religious traditions to observe, and there are no weird symbols in the language. Compared to other countries, Germany is an...

The Ministry of Ministries - Berlin We had a really lovely 4 days in Berlin staying with my old friend only a 20 minute U-Bahn ride from the city centre. The only really touristy things we did over the four days was a walking tour of all the main sights, and a visit to the phenomenal Pergamon Gallery. The walking tour started at the TV tower in ...

So up and at em, bright and early.... Yea right, so I'm on the road by noonish, set out to see all of berlin I can get my feasting eyes on before the day is over. Shower and make my way across the street to check out the Donner Kabob place. Living cheap now have to get all the grub as possible to feed these burning calves I have. I think my lowe...

I don't know what's going on but I've come down with ANOTHER BLOODY flu... and it couldn't have come at a worst time. This is probably my 7th flu this year, and to tell you the truth, I'm getting pretty sick and tired of it... especially when I'm in one of the nightlife capitals of the world. But I still managed to get myself out last night... a...

Like Bangkok, Berlin has really capitivated me, and I'm very much enjoying my first few days here. I'm very glad to be out of Switzerland, which turned out to be a bit of a disappointment for the budget backpacker. Germany, on the other hand, continues to impress with its outstanding tourism infrastructure, ease of getting around, friendly local...

Et møte med et tidsvitne
Etter frokost dro vi til Sachsenhausen, tror jeg. Det var her de fleste av de norske fangene satt. Så spiste vi middag i Fürstenberg, føre vi dro videre til kvinneleiren Ravensbrück. Det er vanlig å ha med seg et tidsvitne når man drar med aktive fredsreiser. Mens vi var på Ravensbrück var det også andre busser der. ...
