Hello there! Trevor here, perched atop the fifth floor flat located in a building older than our nation. We have finally arrived in Berlin!! After an extremely long and monotonous day of traveling our first day was spent sleeping in and grabbing food at the local grocer for the next couple of days. We visited the berlin wall (see above) which was quite fascinating as it had just been repainted for its 20th anniversary!! Sadly other than the wall we haven't seen much of the history, or the city for that matter, the weather has been less that promising. The rain seems to be nonstop and the temperature has been right around 0 degrease celsius the whole time. But Berlin has not been all bad, our hosts Chris and Stephanie have been very hospitable and have done their best to show us around in spite of the poor weather. Chis took us out our first full day after we saw the wall and showed us a little slice of the local scene including a lovely tea/chill out place with a great ambiance and the largest second hand store I have ever been to, five stories of bin sifting!! With that, we say goodbye to Berlin tomorrow morning as we head south to meet up with our good friend Jo for what is sure to be an amazing time with him over the holidays. Until the next post, Tschüß!!!
Here's the sea of bikes pictures that we promised! You see this right as you come out of Amsterdam Centraal; such a nice sight to see!!
Four stories of magic!
