We awoke and pretty much headed straight for the airport. Once again Denmark proved to be one of the most expensive places to eat/drink This time it was almost $25 for a beer and a coke. I couldn't wait to get out of there. SoWe arrived to the country that delivered so much on our last trip. This time it was Berlin whereas last time it was Bad Durkenheim, Frankfurt and Munich.
On arriving at the airport we called Greg, the guy that ran the guest house we were staying at. He is an American (from Kentucky) who has been living in Berlin for the past 15 years. He met us at the train station and took us to our place. On the way passing about 6 kebab joints.... I know what I'll be eating this week.
We were staying in an old church which was a bit weird but we had the place to ourselves. No curfew and we are staying in the Newtown of Berlin. Heaps of little take away places, bars and heaps of artists live in the area so there is a lot of art work on the walls. We are also only 2 streets away from the longest piece of what remains of the Berlin wall.
After showing us to our room Greg gave us a quick download of what to see in Berlin. One of which was a hostel that is on the river (literally as it is a boat) which has an English language party every Wednesday night.
So, Jane and I decided after a brief stop in the city at Alexanderplatz we would head there for a drink or two before dinner. There wasn't a lot of people there speaking in English and everyone seemed to be sitting in their own little groups so after a couple of drinks we made our way to an Indian restaurant called Amars. I'm naming this one so you all know where NOT got if you want good Indian food.
From here it was off to bed. We have decided to cram most of the touring into one day. Is that a good idea?? We'll let you know tomorrow!
