Berlin

What a city!It feels like we've walked most of it! We've been West and East, done the Jewish museum and the parks. Sat yesterday having a beer in Karl Marx alee, overlooking the Stalinist Architecture of the old GDR. Had a curry last night in the Bohemian part of town and have been swimming in a huge outdoor pool in the East again today. The lack of water in the van propmted the swimming! We both needed a shower!

We're off in a bit to have currywurst (they say you have to try it) and then walk the canals in the East.

Tomorrow, we pick up the fuel filters, find a laundrette and then head for Poland. Stopping first in Lodz, where my great grandfather was born and then onto Warsaw to meet Amanda.

Will definitely try and upload some photos on the next posting.

Lots of love x

  2. Sounds brilliant - I loved Berlin it is just so varied and creative in places.
    I love all the stories though my envy rises with each of them as I need a break. Have tentatively decided on a 2 year plan so will see how that goes it is quite different to yours though but also involves crossing land and sea.
    missing you both
