I haven't forgotten about this blog it's only that since Krakow everything has pretty much been a blur. Firstly, we had to make our way to Berlin which involved a 05:30am change but which later on turned out to be 08:30am and so after travelling for a full 24 hours from hostel to hostel we were well and truly knocked out for the night.
Having completed the same walking tour in Berlin to see the historical monuments on offer we ventured to Magnet club in the heart of east Berlin, where we met our Geordie friends. I don't think I've explained this possibly but we met some Geordies in Budapest... and then Krakow... and then Berlin... and now Amsterdam. Fate seems to like playing with us both as we keep on bumping into each other throughout Europe, wierd. Anyway, we spent the night there representing the best shapes of the land, the second day was spent moving hostels as we were unable to get to Hamburg so an extra two nights were forced upon us in Berlin, oh no.
This gave us a great chance to explore a bit more of Berlin and our new hostel was in the best location possible, a nice little park with plenty of cheap places to eat where everyone and I mean everyone carried a drink about, no matter if they were going to work, do the laundry or pick up the kids everyone carries a drink around, not a bad place to be at. Our final day and night consisted of us going to watch Hertha Berlin vs FC Nuremburg at the Olympic Stadium. Tickets were only 17 euros and despite having a track around the pitch the atmosphere was incredible and so were both fans, however the standard of football wasn't great so everyone focused upon drinking and a fat bratwurst. After watching Hertha Berlin go 1-0 we went straight to the pub crawl to revisit so old haunts of last years ventures. The highlight of the night was seeing Seline, our tour guide from last year, of course she was extremely hesitant when 6 scousers approached her all knowing her name, it sounds wierd yes but she was a great tour guide as Gary and Victor may recall and so we only too eager to sing her praises. The night was epic and messy with Breakfast Unfortunately making their first true appearance and demanding parties upon every dancefloor and the crowd loved it.
Berlin was great to us and it's definitely up there with Barcelona as somewhere to live later on in life, let's see how Amsterdam matches up. Keep watching.x
