Hallo! I thought I would get a chance to write something while Steven isn't hogging the computer So far so good. My first experiences of hostels have been better than expected,very clean and spacious. Transport has been a breeze as well, however sites are best viewed on foot. We have walked what feels like a hundred miles! Germany has been a great country. I have to say my fave place has definately been Berlin,it has a buzz about it different from elsewhere. H...

So our first night in dresden. What a night. I'm pretty chuffed we found this place. And thanks to Andy & Christina for telling us about it. They have two main districts here. The Altstadt (old town) and the Neustadt (new town). Before the war there were apparently a lot of beautiful buildings here. All the biggest artists and architects and even composers came here to show off all their work. Then war occurred, the German's set up some ammunition and...

This weekend has been a very different few days from what we've had previously. Not only has the weather got a bit cold and crappy, but I've been here many many times as a kid.

We've been fed and we've been housed, which more than makes up for us perhaps spending a bit more money than necessary for the past week or so. An...

Yoyoyo! So, we're about halfway through our second week and still in Germany. We've been here a little longer than we planned, but then it is pretty much my home country. Also; its an awesome place. The history here is so complex and almost everywhere you go there is so much to see. I reckon we could spend months just in Germany and still be pleasantly suprised by all the sights. But we've been out of Braunlage for a couple days now and I gotta talk about o...

Hey! So Berlin is behind us at last. And it was just a two hour journey to the next stop, Quedlinburg. We had to make one connection but the train ride was really nice. Smooth and efficient. Exactly what you'd expect in Germany. The sites out the window weren't half bad either. So we arrive in Quedlinburg and it hit us straight away how different this would be from Berlin. We barely came across any English speakers before, but this is far off the beaten...
