We were all up bright and early this morning for the long drive to Berlin. Some of the guys on our bus must have had a big night last night as a few were covered in dried spew and one guy apparently barfed in his suitcase. Classy!
The drive to Berlin was long. 8 hours of driving plus two 45 minute stops, we were both pretty brain dead by the end. We also behaved like classy, mature adults by stealing food from the breakfast buffet so we didn’t have to pay roadhouse prices lol.
On the way to our hotel we stopped at the Berlin wall and had a look at some of the artwork graffitied on there as well as took some photos.
We lucked out on the hotel! The one contiki normally uses was booked out so we are staying at the mercure hotel right in the centre of Berlin! YIPPEE. Our room has a balcony as well which has made my day. We went out for dinner and it was very German – lots of different sausages, sauerkraut, potato and mustard…plus strudel for dessert.
Tomorrow we have a full day of exploring the city planned so tonight will be an early night (it is 10:30pm and we are both ready for bed). Fairly sure I’m catching a head cold so I’ll be taking it easy for a few days while still exploring as much as I can. We have made friends with two girls from Adelaide and are planning to spend all day tomorrow looking at awesome historical stuff and shopping before going on an organised “eye spy” scavenger hunt through some bars in the evening. Yay holiday fun time!
