The world is too small for walls...

Hello from crazy berlin!

Lets see since I last wrote......

We went and checked out Fussen, this lovely little town in Bavaria. We went up and had a look around Neuschwanstein Castle, built by Ludwig II. This castel was amazing. If youre ever going to go and visit a castle, I reccomend this one. It was the inspiration for the disney logo (castle at the beginning of the films). As we walked up the mountain to it, through the misty forest, it was atmospheric....so disney. We half expected snow white to walk around the corner. The castle was amazing inside with decorations and artwork on the walls. It even had a man made grotto built inside between rooms. Crazy!

We made it to Dresden and had a look around there. Although it was heavily bombed during the war the town still had its old town charm with an amazing opera house, church and so on. We were staying in a very funky hostel in the cool part of town so that was nice.

We got to Berlin Thurs and that afternoon went on a walking tour around this city. And im glad we did. The history here is so dense, with so many layers. From Medieval times so modern 20th century history we learnt a lot and saw a lot - The Brandenburg Gate, Berlin wall, Checkpoint Charlie amongst many many other things. So interesting.

Yesterday we went and had a look at the east side gallery, a collection of artworks displayed on the old berlin wall. Really interesting stuff. We also had a look at some monuments and memorials, and the Olympic stadium (where they played the world cup final). Last night we went out on a pub crawl which was good fun. Amongst many cool bars we went to this one in particular which was in an old building up to 5 levels filled with squatters and artists displaying their work. It was really, really cool.

Having a quiet day today. This is penny and my last stop before we head back to london on monday and then I start to make my way back to sydney. Im so glad we made Berlin our last stop though. It really is a fantastic world in itself. You HAVE to come here.

I promise photos next time!
