Ich freue mich auch schon dass Alexander Marcus uns die Fahrt musikalisch begleiten http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/blog-315648.html Hier mal unserere geplante Route fr die ersten TageBerlinBratislavaTimisoaraSofiaIstanbulWir freuen uns auf eure KommentareJoschka Dennis und Stephan http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/H-now/blog-315046.html June 10 2008June 10 2008POTSDAM HANNOVER GermanyA short drive today from Berlin to Hannover via Potsdam and Brandenburg. More nice country and gets more interesting the closer you get to Potsdam.The Potsdam Brandenburg area is very beautiful with forest and lakes and a lot of 4 5 star resorts to service the many tourists. Most come to see the many castles and palaces that were built here http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/Potsdam/blog-287353.html A Fall Outing to Wannsee and a Discovery into the PastIt's the 17th of October 2007 a beautiful fall day and Hannah has autumn holidays at her school perfect conditions for a visit of the small city of Wannsee. Although a good 45 minutes with the SBahn the outside metro trains which tend to connect the Berliner outskirts with the city Wannsee still belongs to one of Berlin's district that http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/blog-245907.html At 1pm we had an optional excursion to POTSDAM to see SANSSOUCI PALACE and CECILIENHOF PALACE. And see was what we did in the front and back of Sanssouci. What a damn disappointment. Excuse my English. Evidently when our pamphlets stated SEE it must mean from the outside and VISIT must mean an inside tour. We had a nice guide but we thought we were to go inside but we only walked around the front http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/Potsdam/blog-208083.html Gutten tagWhile still trying to get into a normal sleep pattern I got up even earlier than I had planned this morning to take a trip out of Berlin for a few hours. My goal was to spend the morning in Potsdam just taking in the city to see what something other than the capital looked like.First there was Cecilienhof Palace. Built in the early 20th century when there was still a royal family http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/Potsdam/blog-207053.html Exciting as this is our last full day of cycling before tomorrow's arrival in Berlin. We hope to be able to cycle directly to our apartment.We stop in Fuerstenwalde in the morning. At the tourist office Andrew buys a few things but they disuade us from buying a collection of bike maps of Berlin since they say you can get better ones in Berlin. Capitalism still has not got through to ev http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/blog-203307.html Cooler weather especially noticed overnight. Woman who prepares breakfast for us at upcoming night's campsite says it was down to 4. For further information on the campsite please read picture captions. We have lunch today in Beeskow the capital of this district of Brandenburg the OderSpree. It has a walled old town and a pleasant market square which has been recently renovated. We http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/blog-203303.html We continue on the train from Cottbus to Luebbenau. Since we have a Brandenburg Ticket we could go to Berlin today by train for no extra charge but we do want to do some cycling. In Luebennau we find a pleasant campsite right in the SpreewaldSpreeforest. The forest is characterized by numerous small rivers. Many small boats canoes etc. are found throughout this area which extends nor http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/blog-203300.html Train from Dresden to Cottbus Brandenburg with stopover in Goerlitz on Polish border. Have lunch in Goerlitz at a Polish restaurant very good and inexpensive.Train from Goerlitz to Cottbus is not a Deutsche Bundesbahn train the only train service we have used or seen to date in Germany but the LausitzBahn which is acutally operated by Connex which operates trains in the UK. There are pl http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/Cottbus/blog-203299.html SanssouciSanssouci palace is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great King of Prussia at Potsdam some 20km south west of Berlin. The palace was built between 1745 and 1747. It was named sans souci meaning without a care this reflects the king's need to escape the pressures of royal life. When I entered the palace grounds I felt like stepping into a fairytale. The Sanssouci palace overlo http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/Potsdam/blog-188782.html Bom choques culturais por choques culturais nesse domingo tivemos o maior de todos. Pegamos o SBahn e fomos para uma cidade chamada Potsdam que a capital de Brandemburg e fica a 45 minutos de distncia de Berlim.

And once the other European Kings saw this grand symbol of wealth and luxury many of them said I want one too and Sanssoucci Park is the German equivallent to the Varseille and it is absolutely stunning.

Our Professor gave us an amazing tour of the city and I incorporated many of the things I learned from him into the previous entry so as to save time and space. The city was rather unchanged from the previous weekend but I did get to know my professor a lot better. He is http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/Potsdam/blog-27532.html It is only October but already the days are starting to get shorter here and the nip in the air tells me that winter is only around the corner. In my last weekends of good weather I am trying to make as much use of it as I can and do as many daytrips as possible. So this weeks was an excursion to Potsdam which is a smaller city in the suburbs of Berlin. I took the Sbahn train there and got http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Brandenburg/Potsdam/blog-25407.html
