Berlin

We took a 10 hour overnight bus to Berlin, luckily this time, no customs!!!! It was a fairly straight forward trip, where we actually caught some zzz's. We were greeted at the bus stop bright and early by an old neighbor of the Feeney's. Barbara and Peter live right in the city of Berlin so it was convenient for wandering, and they were kind enough to put us up for a few nights.
The history in this city is never ending. There is so much to see and learn that 3 days is no where near enough to take it all in. We took a free walking tour of the city, that went into depth on a few of the important dates in berlins history. We thought we hated Hitler before coming here, but the hate has only grown. Its still unreal to think about what it must have been like to live here through all the troubles.
Besides taking in all the history, we shopped for new birks, tried some German Sausage, navigated the underground system with only a few wrong turns, and luckily made it back in time for a traditional German dinner with Barbara and Peter. MMMMM fantastic!!!
It was nice to sleep in a proper bed, and have home cooked meals, but the buzz of the backpacker lifestyle is calling us back.......Prague awaits us after another overnight bus!
