Well it’s been awhile since my last post, mainly because I was soo busy in Berlin.
Stayed at a brand new hotel whilst in Berlin as they were having an opening special and I couldn’t resit the thought of some luxury, I had a flat screen TV, big bed, own toilet and shower and it was cheaper then the hostels!!!
So as you can imagine I spent a fair amount of time just relaxing in the room but I soon got bored of that and went exploring.
Berlin has soo much history and the city as you could imagine is spilt in to 2 city sections, East and West because of the wall. I was staying on the West side which was pretty crappy and had loads of development going on, so I caught a U-Bahn over to the other side and was very impressed. This is where all the major buildings, shopping centres and historical sites were. The first night I had Mexican from the West, the food was OK even though I didn’t really know what I was ordering as it was all in German.
Berlin is a pretty damn confusing place so I jumped on a tour bus to see the sights as there were just too many, the architecture there was amazing and I got to see the wall (only a small section is left), Checkpoint Charlie, the Brandenburg Gates, and a Jewish memorial. All in all a busy day.
This sounds pretty bad but the highlight of my day would have been the Bugatti store in Berlin that had a ‘Bugatti Vayron’ in the window…what a dream.
So I am in Prague now, arrived yesterday.
It’s a lot warmer here so that is good, might even crack out the boardies later on. I will post more once I start doing some exploring.
(By the way, click the top picture to see my Berlin photos- I’ll do this for each post from now on)

Hey mate,
Great to see you’re having a good time. You moved through countries pretty bloody quick!
Amsterdam sounds great and i think i saw a hint of something in the window of that photo you took.
Anyway we should try to hook up a time to chat and catch up on all the happenings.
