Berlin to Prague

Berlin was amazing. The city's architecture is humbling and its history so fresh that is screams at you through every medium; rubble of bombed buildings, memorials, graffiti, and The Wall.

We checked out of our Hostel in Berlin yesterday morning, our bus to Prague wasn't leaving until the next morning at 6:15am. We thought we would just crash on the couches of our hostel common room until around 4am when we needed to catch our train to the bus station. But last night the hostel came alive, it was packed with young people drinking way into the early morning and we realized there was no hope for sleep on the couches. Oliver found an abandoned mattress out in the hall on the 7th floor of the hostel, we curled up on it and tried to sleep until one of the staff members doing rounds awoke us.
We were off.
The bus from Berlin to Prague took 6 hours. We arrived, got off the bus and got straight down to the business of getting lost. we finally made it to our hostel, checked into our room, and ventured out to find food and the correct currency. 16.8 Czech Koruna = about 1 us dollars; i payed for our groceries with a 1,000 Koruna bill (i felt rich).

Our knuckles are cracked from the cold, our noses chapped, our bodies tired and we love it.


lots of love

Berlin

We are now in Berlin. We have been here for two days, we are staying at the Generator hostel, it is huge, sleeps 900+ people. the day we arrived it was snowing and unbelivably cold but today was beautiful! we went on a 4 1/2 hour FREE tour of Berlin.
SIDE NOTE writing this blog post is incredabliy challenging....i had to pay for internet time so i have only a limited time period (which is very stressful) every thing is in German and the letters on the key board are in different places.
we will be stazing in Berlin for two more nights and then we are off to Praha, hopefully that is because we dont have a way of getting there yet.

hopefully get free internet soon

love love love

The weather here has been a little misserable, cold, rainy, snowy, and windy, but we've made the best of it.

hope to get some free internet soon, so posts can be longer.
