The Best of Berlin

First successful trip made out of Prague! Friday at 7am, we took a bus to Berlin, which was a nice ride. We got there around 12:30, took an hour to find our hostel, but made it fine! We got to the hostel which was called Metropol Hostel. For a hostel i thought it seemed very nice, had it's own bar and lounge area with big screen tvs, big bunk beds in each room with locker space for each. The people however, i was not expecting. You have to remember anyone can stay in a hostel, and 4 girls stayed in a 10 person hostel. Needless to say, with 4 non-english speaking men, all over the age of 30. While they didn't bother us, one of them thought we were hysterical and kept us from getting out of the hostel on time! Berlin was a very fun place, no where as beautiful as Prague, and looked a lot like NYC. But the people are so much more friendly than in Prague! and so much more english speakers.

Day 1: so we ventured off for a few hours trying to find a specific bar (never again) until we ironically enough decided to eat at a place called Cancun. You would think we would go right for the german, but Prague has deprived us of good food. lol We then went to a hookah bar and saw another part of Berlin. Then we got ready and went out to a bar, where we met a bunch of americans who hung out with us for the rest of the weekend.

Day 2: So last night was a little bit of a late night, so we slept in late. But this was acceptable because the city was on strike and has only one little metro line open for traveling. We did a lot of walking, but were able to see all of Berlin's greatest attractions, aka, Potsdamer Platz, Checkpoint Charlie, Reichstag, the Sony center, Brandenburger tor, Berliner dom and the topographie of terrors. We were able to see different museums, and see the veterans memorial, along with what is left of the great wall. I didn't realize how new WWII was. lol whoops. but it was amazing to see everything! But after a long day of walking, we went to a german restaurant, where i had boctworst!! yey. and then we attended a bar and then a 5 floor disco, which they made fun of us for dancing like americans!

Day 3: Sunday was our day to check out of the hostel, but our bus wasn't until 1am on Monday. So we accidentally slept in, and got woken up by the front desk who were not happy we were 5 hours past checkout time! So we scrambled our stuff, put our luggage in storage and proceeded to venture around the city. We had a great time, so many funny memories, i will never forget my trip to Berlin. But on my facebook is a full album of pictures for you all!
