Berlin

The first time that I entered Berlin was Friday the 12th because my flight to Krakow had been delayed and I was forced to stay in Berlin for the night. Luckily my hostel room had some space and I was allowed to stay overnight and switch my days around.

I got back to Berlin a little too late for a Bunker tour and tomorrow I tour two museums (The Allied Museum, and Berlin Wall Memorial) then head off the Hamburg!

Tonight I had dinner with one of my roommates from Umbra, Maiji, we went to this place that served traditional German food, I got some cheese noodles and Maiji got white sausage and a pretzel. Before I leave Germany I will try the Wiener Schnitzel ...I will, and then wash it down with some strudel.

Berlin is huge, it is impossible to walk anywhere as a tourist you must suck it up and use the buses and train systems in place. Which I have had no trouble handling so far (fingers crossed), and it's actually reminding me of Boston a bit (just their underground train system, as it goes above ground too). The homey feeling is nice and at the same time adds excitement. It's not too bad working my way around Germany, they have some things in English and Italian, both of which I can read so it helps.

I wish I had my extra day back in Berlin, but I'm just glad that I can accomplish most of what I set out to do. Tomorrow night I'm off to Hamburg where I'll focus on U-boat museums.
