Went with Mok and my friends Nikki and Michael and Nikkis bro Ben.
We had an awesome time, here is the run of events
The Journey and day One
9:30 pm, left for thr train station, to catch the train to London Luton ariport
11:30 arrived london paddington, got the tube to St Pancras
12:00 ish arrived St Pancras
12:30 caught train to Luton
1:15 ish, got to Luton airport and waiting until check in at 4:40 am, tried to sleep on the ground but didnt work
4:40 check in, the more waiting
6:40am flew to Berlin!!
9:30 am arrived in Berlin at Schonefled airport
10:30 am bought our ticket to Lanberger Allee
11:30 arrived at the Generator Hostel,
11:35 pissed that we couldnt check in yet, we left our luggage and headed into Alexanderplatz for a wander on no sleep
2:00 pm, went back to the hostel for a couple of hours sleep
5:00 pm went out for dinner at a german restaurant, had the best weiner schnitzel....mmmmm
11:00 ish, headed back to hostel for sleep
Day Two
9:00 am woke up and went to breakfast, best hostel brekkie ever, nice warm breadrolls with cold cut meats and cheese, cereals and juice
10:15 started a free walking tour that lasted 4 hours, we had an awesome tour guide, who even though it rained the whole time kept out spirits up, visited the Berlin wall, a few memorials etc, so much interesting history
5:00 pm headed back to hostel to get ready for the Pub Crawl!
8:00 met in the foyer for pub crawl, headed into a busy part of town , went to 5 different pubs
Our guide had many bottles of vodka in his back pack in which we old got to shot between pubs...plus a free shot with every drink purchased...i have NEVER had so much jager in my life!! and they pour the drinks very strong. Lets just say we only remember the first 3 pubs and there is some terrible photographic evidence
3:00 am (we think) headed home for sleep
Last Day
9:00 am Woke up VERYunwell
10:00 tried to pack for check out at 10
10:20 met the others at breakfast, tried to eat
11:00 went to Tiergarten for a long walk, spoke alot of shit, cried, laughed and whinged too much to eachother about how shit we felt
5:00 headed back to hostel to get out bags then went to airport
7:00 pm , waiting for the plane
9:30 pm, flew home!!
11:30 arrived home, shower and sleep
Awesome weekend, lesson learned: do not go on a pub crawl the night before u have to check out
Had a great time, would like to go there again.
Now back to work to raise money for the next trip, hopefully to Prague!
Hope everyone is well and happy

SO my surprise was an awesome African dinner!!! Hehe, I'm sure you already knew though, maybe? I took so many pics and haven't had a chance to upload them yet..hmm..maybe I'll do it tomorrow
Work has been so crap the last few days
It was so good to talk to you yesterday! I'm glad that you're having fun!
Your tales sound amazing and the photos were super. Also, you look hella cute all bundled up in your coats 'n' stuffs.
Have fun planning for Prague. A few people have mentioned that they have been there in recent months and all of them speak of it with deep affection.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed some of the history in Berlin as well. I can't wait to see the places I've read of much about over the years in history books.
*hearts* to you and Mok.
Hope to talk to you again soon!
