Herzliche Wilkommen
Happy New Year! Fröliche Neujahrzeit! We made it to Berlin on Wednesday, and set to sightseeing right away. The first thing we did was take a horribly planned tourbus around the city to "get our bearings" (my idea). But the bus was ghetto. The roof was a tarp that smacked against its frame loudly whenever we hit the slightest bump in the road. What's more, most of the headphones were broken so I listened with one ear to the English commentary and the other to the smacking of the plastic roof-tarp. Our first impression of Berlin was from a broken-down double-decker bus on a dreary drizzly day. But it got better from there...
