Blogs from Berlin, Berlin, Germany, Europe - page 10

Herzlich Willkommen auf meinem Reiseblog! All die, die gerne an meiner Reise, meinen Erlebnissen und Gedanken teilhaben möchten sind hier genau richtig. „The Time oft my Life“ Das Fernweh sitzt tief in der Brust und so wie viele andere Menschen auch zog es mich bisher immer wieder in die Ferne. Die vielen fremden Kulturen und Menschen sind immer aufregend und horizonterweiternd. Bereits vor 10 Jahren hatte es mich in die weite Welt getrieben. Australien war für 8 Monate mein zu Hause. Diese Zeit möchte ich nicht missen, denn sie hat mich zu mir selbst geführt. Ich hatte die Chance mich selbst besser kennenzulernen und ein atemberaubendes Land zu bereisen, in welches in nun unter anderem zurückkehren werde. Meine Reise soll mich durch Kambodscha, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapur, Indonesien, Australien und Neuseeland führen. Und wer weiß schon wo ... read more

Hello one and all. So, I had previously written text for this entry, but somehow, as only I can do in all my glorious technical inability, managed to delete it all. I am now left with a blank slate - or Tabula Rasa, as Jean Jacques-Rosseau so eloquently put it, ready to spew some verbal vomit for you all to read. My memory is pretty unreliable at best, so let's see if I can remember all the frolicking gallivanting I did in this wondrous city! My first impressions of Berlin were initially: What a cool fucking TV Tower (excuse the crudeness, but I'm just being honest), as I was coming in on the train to Berlin. My second impressions were: Woohoo, the hotel is so close to the U-Bahn (Train). My friend and I arrived at ... read more

Despite being about 45 mins late, our train did at least get us in to Hamburg in time to catch an, only slighter later than planned, onward train to Berlin. After discussing our plans for the day we both nodded off for the remaining hour of the final leg, making the total night sleep for both of us that night about 2 hours! We picked up some 48 hour 'Welcome Berlin' cards from Hauptbahnhof (the main station) and headed across to our hostel 'Wombats' which was just outside of Alexanderplatz. Check-in wasn't till 14:00 (and it was only 10:00) so we left our bags and used the bathroom to freshen up a bit and change. We caught the tram back across town to the Reichstag and Brandonberg Tor, we did attempt to go into the Reichstag ... read more

Qui peut me dire ce qu'on fait que pour visiter une ville alors que la veille au soir il pleut... nous nous réveillions sous un grand soleil et toute la journée celui-ci nous accompagne ? Nous voici donc partis en laissant gentiment Pollux à sa place, pour prendre le métro aérien qui nous mènera à l'Alexander Platz... Rien que pour son nom il fallait que j'y aille, mais bien déçue très vite car il n'y a rien d'intéressant à voir et aucune envie de shopping (de toute façon c'est dimanche et ici ça se respecte...) mais c'est déjà un bon emplacement afin de prendre nos deux pieds et aller vers les sites les plus importants à visiter. C'est ainsi que nous atteindrons la fontaine de Neptune, l'église de Marie et la mairie (cette dernière toute entourée ... read more

"When the power of love is greater than the love of power, the world will be a better place." Anonymous. After a flight across the Atlantic and quick family visit to the United Kingdom, we took another flight over the North Sea, to Berlin. It was a busy time in the bustling German Capital, and we had to bounce from hotel to hotel due to a government event, a farm exhibition, and film festival - it was really tough to find a room, we persisted, and eventually we found a gem for a steal of a deal. Separated by Concrete We don't know for sure, but we reckon the concept of a wall was conceived at a time prior to the taming of fire, and certainly millennia before the first wheel rotated. Wall building is certainly ... read more
