The Alternative Walking Tour of Berlin

Just like Amsterdam it was cold and wet when I packed up to leave the hostel I was in and head across to the same one as D.

From Amsterdam to Berlin

Waking up after another long day on my feet I found my body rebelling against me. It didn’t want to wake, my feet ached and I had a longing to be sitting on the couch at home watching TV. I knew I couldn’t have my couch so I improvised and settled on my dorm bed. Over the next 3-4 hours I caught up on the happenings of the internet while […]
