Prague to Berlin

Country Four, Prague to Berlin.


The start of the move to our forth country today.
We move on from Prague, a very unique City, the landscape is huge, the streets narrow and the people give over a sense of hurried caution to everyone around them. A beautiful city all the same.
We spend the morning looking through street markets and see even more wonderful food on offer. We had the second part of breakfast in a chocolate shop, fantastic hand made chocolate. Then through fresh fruit stalls and more local street food to tempt us further.


Our train is delayed 80 minutes from Prague, when we do get underway we spend the afternoon on the train watching magic scenery go past. Apples and chocolate bought from the markets in Prague were lunch due to a lesson learnt from our previous trip through Czech on the train.



In Dresden we meet an older couple who tell us all about Berlin over the next 2 hour train ride, great people. He was a professor of demography at Berlin University, fascinating older man, it was great for him to share his story with us.
We get to Berlin and the train station is about as much of Berlin as we see. We are off to an outer suburb called Alt Reinickendorf to the Ibis for the night.
The hotel is ok, small room as usual and the net is still slow....whats with that. But nice people again.
We head off next door to a little German Pub for a meal.
We find out he's doing a beer fest of his own and talks us into a stein of the local, a Ham Hock and Berlin Curry whurst....Brilliant!!!


Well thats it for today, Big! day tomorrow with the meeting with Pure Berlin and checking out this huge city. Can't wait.
