Berlin...Berlin...
Berlin...

Arrival... damn squinty eyes - it was windy!
Even if 'y' and 'z' are the wrong way around on their keyboards - so if there are any back to front in this entry thats the cause!

Well... Monday 6th was spent on a really comftable 4 hour bus ride and relitively smooth pickup from the bus station, and here we are in Berlin, staying with Jannis and his family (which we appreciate endlessly!)

The Hansen family have an amazing house - probably closer to palace really! And for three days we are occupying an entire floor (one of 4!) It also dates back to about 1900 (and think the ChCh cathedral is about 130years old - not much in it!)

Today Lex and I (Ez of course) did a looot of walking...

Went all around the centre (centres actually) of Berlin - the central 'Tiergarten' and all around all these amazing buildings - theres so much to see you always pop out here or turn around there and behold, another amazing historic building in all its grandure!! We walked all around the 'Museum Island' - a whole (smallish) island with numerous museums on it! Uter den Linten and Potsama Platz... aswell as the new 8

Bike traffic lights!!
leveled railway station slash mall!!

I definately reccomend Berlin as a city to visit if you are anywhere in the vacinity!!! Its so amazing and has all the perks of a huge city! And yet it also is soo clean, open, and doesnt smell at all (as i've been informed London and Paris definateld do!!)

Anyway this is just a really quick entry as we're going to go and watch a movie!! Will get some pics of the house etc on at a later date! Lots of love to all! RIP Bealey!!

Will update all pics tommorrow!!

EDIT:
lex here:i dont know when to begin...staying with dad and silvia we definatly felt like we had worn out our welcome, so we took of for afew days to this simply crazy amazing city!!! possibly the best city i have ever visited, everywhere is so grand and clean, with ever turn there is a more impressive glorious building with better facades and older history!! the parks here are the most beautiful i have ever seen of any big city, so full of colour and so cared for with out a scrap of rubbish to be seen! i think

Lex outside the Hansen residence - Jannis's house where we're staying!
that 2 days are definatly not enough so its firmly in the REVISIT box, heavily underlined.
hmm note to self, learn german!!
Janis s house is very cool, we have an FLOOR to ourseves (not what we expected), but ez has allready said that!
We have been feasting on doners (ez says they are a bready, meaty, salady saucey lot of goodness for ppl who havent experienced the magic)! they are so great. And recent developments include..me feeling tired of having 80% of the photos of me so forcing ez to relinquish control of the camera so ppl can see more photos of him!!
We were very sad about bealey( zokis jokes didnt help much). But germany as a whole is so awesome, and thailand is only a few weeks away so there is so much to look forward to.
Silvia 20yr old brother Andres (who we met on the farm) was a nice guy and offered for us to stay with him in frankfert (found out he is a movie and lotr fan, so looking foward to chilling with him!)
AND Ez said -Kay we promise to get the farm photos on now!
lots of love to my beautiful
