Hello from Berlin!!

We officially left glasgow on the 4th of October and headed south to london - on the classy megabus! Stayed in a dodgy youth hostel in south east london for a few days and went sight seeing. Buckingham palace, westminster etc were all blessed with our presence. Apart from rain the first day the weather was good and we had a cracking time.

On the night of the 6th we headed to Stanstead airport and had a night sleeping on the floor! Then flew out to Berlin first thing in the morning.

Spent our first day in germany relaxing. the hostel here is amazing - clean, spacious and friendly. A million miles away from the dive in london. It has a huge common room full of comfy sofas and sky tv. The surronding area is quiet but only 15 minute walk from the center of west Berlin (the wall meant there are two city centres, west and east) The city is incredible and Kezz and i have spent today wandering round some of the landmarks. Its a bit overcast and relatively cool but the buildings and monuments make up for it.

We've been to the wall, to museam island, brandenburg gate (see photo), saw the cathedral, went to 'checkpoint charlie' museam which tells you all about Berlins past and plodded endless streets going 'ooh' and 'aah'. Kezz is uploading the photos as i type this so you'll see what i mean!

We've got a weeks all public transport pass which means the city is ours to explore and we can't wait to get our teeth into more of it.

Hope everyone is well back home - we'll update you soon

love kezz and mo x x
