I love Berlin

full stop...or three

Berlin completely captured our hearts, and we were very sad to leave. For a place with such a bleak history, It is liberal, and friendly, and ahead of the times.

We divided our time quite equally between the many histrioc monment around during the day, and exploring the famous berlin nightlife in the evenings.

I am not actually going to write about this much as I really do not feel like I can put it l into words at the moment, bt between Karneval, 60c beers, checkpoint charlie & the east Side gallery, the Upside down bar & the rock papper sissors brige, there was so much character that "Only in Berlin" seemed the appropriate catchphrase of the week.

It is what Melbourne should be workng towards imo. It is arty, cultural, individual, free and open. Really quite inspirational considering the wall only fell in '89.

Leaving it at that. We will definitely return. Hopefully with Bens guitar in hand.
