Ich Bin Ein Berliner

---

In the words of John F. Kennedy Ich Bin Ein Berliner (I Am A Berliner), well atleast until the weekend. We arrived in Berlin on Sunday and have been staying in a very cool hostel in the centre of town. After 10 weeks of solid travelling, sightseeing and yes, drinking, we have used the past few days as an oppurtunity to take a well earned rest, well atleast from the travelling and sightseeing 😊 The past fews days have been filled with reading, playing guitar and sitting in the cafe drinking coffee. Very relaxing.

Anyway since there is not much to report I thought this would be a good oppurtunity to put some photos up (we have around 600)

Underground in Austria
We stumbled across this 400 year old pub in Vienna and spent about 4 hours there drinking Austrian beer, reading and listening to our iPods.

What?
Puddy reading and drinking in the Spa, surrounded by snow.

After Paintball
This was taken at dusk after spending all afternoon talking and drinking beer on a sunny Prague day.

Cnr 8th and West 30th
This is on the fire escape of one of the rooms we stayed in, in New York.

With Klaus in Oxford
Klaus is a fantastic guy that Marcus met when he stayed in Oxford 3 years ago. It was great to catch up with him again!

Drinking in Oxford
This was at the bar right next door to our hostel, which helps cause it was real real cold in England.

Fire Museum
We did make it there to try to find the shirt that Dease donated but they said it was either in storgae or at a display in Las Vegas. There was however this badge.

Skating in Rockefellar Plaza
This was a very cool thing to do in New York and by NY standards not all that expensive.

Storm Clouds Over Rome
Here you can see the Castle Sant' Angelo and the Vatican just before a rain storm hit Rome.

In Prague with Yanks
These are some of the nice Americans we met during our Prague stay.

Before Paintball
This is our victorious team. In order to get into the spirit of thing we used the girls eyeliner as war paint and considering we beat the Belfast Anti-Terorism squad I think it made the difference!

A Prague Fortress
This overlooked our paintball field.

Pudd and Anja At Blennum Castle
Beautiful, and the palace is not too bad either.

Learning German
This was also taken at the 400 year old Austrian Pub.

Kristian walking in the rain in Rome
As it soon as it begins to rain in Rome, magically the street sunglass sellers turn into Umbrella vendors.

Hello from London!
Yes, I'm finally here and my god it's cold! Today at least I was able to put on my sunglasses. Totally weird being on the other side of the world and not knowing where anything is. Anyway, talk shortly.

ich bin ein doughnut
yes john in the words of JOHN F.KENNEDY he meant to say I am a Berliner but,on that famous day when he stood up there in front of all the Berliners he screwed up,as U.S. Presidents sometimes do,and what he actually said was I AM A DOUGH-NUT.now you can imagine the laughter that greeted that,any-way I have that on good authority from a barman on the cnr of 53rd and 2nd street N.Y. So pudd once again you strike at some outlandish time in the morning,but that's ok its all good,it's 7am good friday as i sit here going through your pics and yeah at this stage i'd still recognise you at the airport so thats promising.That's quite a view you had while you were kicking the anti-terrorist police butts,you guys have probably caused them a lot of trauma over that, they'll probably need counseling. Not much happenin here as i told you and so far nothing has turned up in the mail for you as per your request,so i will submit and sign off, keep up the photos and blogs, BLOGS weird word for a letter if you ask me. see ya's.
