Hi again, how are we all? Well, its my 1st day on tour, and I have to say, its been good. Berlin is an amazing place, a bit eerie after what has happened here all those years ago, but none the less, an awesome place.
Yesterday, Jazz (my room mate) went for walk, I think we did about 6km around the city. We did a cruise along the Spree River here in Berlin and did some shopping, it was a day.
Last night I met up with the tour leader (leader, driver and on road chef are all Aussie's, then again probably 90%of the people on my trip are all Aussie's!) and everyone on the tour. The people I have met seem nice enough. We then went to dinner at a nearby restaurant which was nice.
Today, we did a city sights tour and learned more about Berlin, our leader Gus is really informative and knows his stuff which is good. Some of the stories he has told us about the Hilter era, wow! We visited the Berlin Wall, (whats left of it anyway) I must say, It's quite hard to climb lol. We then did a Third Riech Walking Tour which also really informative, I feel like my brain may explode. Lucky I'm going on a Pub Crawl in a couple of hours to chill a bit. After the tour, Jazz and I checked out Check Point Charlie where they still have American Military there guarding the border into the American sector. We took yet another long walk back to the TV Tower and went to the top of that, really awesome views from there, we then spent afternoon doing more shopping and alot more walking.
Tonight, we are doing a pub crawl, which should be interesting as it is only Monday night. We even get a free Hoff T-Shirt, how exciting!
Sorry there are no photo's yet, hopefully at the next place I'll beable to put some on.
We are heading to Copenhagen tomorrow, not sure if we will have internet access where we are staying, so if you don't hear from me for a few days you will know why.
Well, I better go and get ready for the night, you will hear from me again soon.

Berlin sounds amazing, I can't wait until I eventually visit. The historical aspects sound really good. Are you still getting along with everyone? I think Copenhagen will be really interesting to visit.
