Well in the end we escaped Berlin however, no mashy techno just mashy feet from too much city walking. I have blisters to die for! Trevor those havanah flp flops are great but not for mile after mile of city trekking! Berlin was amazing; never seen streets like it especially Karl Marx Allie, Dont be fooled we are talking four lanes wide, pavements like runways and blocks of public housing the size of Park Hill all built with ornate carvings. Unbelieveably it was all built by volunteer labour in the 50's!
We are currently in Warsaw where we have met up with Jo's mate Amanda and her friend Alli who is traveling Europe from OZ.
THE DRIVE HERE WAS INTERESTING! MORE LIKE F**KING MENTAL!
Pardon the language but there is really no other way to get my point accross. The road we took was the main trucking route (not motorway from Frank furt to Warsaw. You have no idea, i had no idea how much frieght is coming out of easten Europe. Non stop artic after artic coming down two lane highway. They leave 5ft on each side so people can move over to let others past. This means you have to be looking behind and in front of you for people overtaking. Simply think of a normal british a road with alittle extra space on either side, trucks on either side and a third overtaking in the middle! Amazing or crazy not sure which.
Stopped in camping sight within the grounds of a hotel last night in warsaw as we arrived in the dark and quite late, sorry did I say Hotel, in daylight resembled more of an old prison/car park on an industrial estate. However it did have warm shower which was just luxury will park on roads tonight to save cash now we have sussed out parking restrictions.
Dad need to suss out hook up can you remind me what the score is about polarity!
Hit a cafe today had a nice lunch, going out tonight for a drink.

Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and I am so jealous and happy for you. Shame about the miss out of the mash up in Germany as it would have been good I think. Your journey sounds exciting and I pray every day that your van makes it to your next destination. And yes, get some photos up. Everything is ok here. Neighbours downstairs are being fucking wankers, sorry about language but they are, FUCKING WANKERS. They havelied to our landlord saying that othre neighbours have also complained which is rubbish. Luckily our landlord is supporting us as he has always had trouble with them. I am now more relaxed in the house as I am so angry with downstairs that I really don't give a shit if we do bang alittle. As i can't wait for them to knock. I haven't talked to them because its been trev answering, but when I do, so help me God, they are going to get it big styley... Am I ok writing all this here, or should I email you?
Anyway continue blogging its great. Love you both so much and miss you heaps. Jacombe sends you a big kiss. xxx
