I've uploaded all these photos out of order, just so you know...
We spent a lot of time on the underground and trains in Berlin. It sounds a bit strange but I enjoy remembering how confusing we found public transport when we first arrived in Europe.
Sarah also joined us in Berlin, and we will be flying back to Aus together.
We've done a lot of sight seeing whilst being here...we went to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, did a 3hr 'Third Reich' walking tour, saw the major buildings, visited the Turkish markets, went shopping etc. One of the guides on our tour mentioned that Berlin as a city manufactures very little, and that most of its income comes from cultural stuff. It means there are hundreds and hundreds of pubs, resturants, cafes and clubs so we've been able to enjoy that side of it a bit too =)
Some of the paintings done on the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin wall, some of it was awesome and some just a bit disturbing.
This is back in Gronigen, Simon and I had a great time here. We basically spent our time walking around the city, drinking coffee, visiting the daily markets, and indulging in all the different foods we loved before we left NL for the last time (at least for a while)
Simon took this photo just because we thought it was the best name for a coffee shop =)
From the vismarkt in Gronigen. This was one of the spice shops. We loved this town, it was small enough to walk everywhere but it was so busy and there was always stuff going on. Plus I think the average age was about 25...
Will update soon, we've compiled our own list of the 'little differences' (see previous post) according to us plus a 'best and worst of europe' list. 3 days left for us.
