Being so busy and then a lack of internet I’m a bit behind with my blogging this week. I had a quiet start to the week before catching up with Pirita and Sarah on Thursday night over some delish cocktails at The Office bar. Pirita had spent 2 weeks in North America and Canada and made me very envious with stories of all the cheap shopping.
Friday it was a special Friday bar as the next time I would see a lot of my school friends would be in Berlin so it was a very merry atmosphere. A bit too merry I would say as I went home, made myself something to eat & had a shower to get ready to go to Kathrine’s birthday drinks and then proceeded to fall asleep =(
Gotta love your friday bar!
Crazy Danes..
Saturday I went to go meet Sash who had come over from London for the weekend with a friend. I took them to Christiania but as it was raining it wasn’t a very good day to be there. What else is there to do on a rainy day in Copenhagen then than to go to the pub.. It was great to catch up with her and then when they went to have some dinner I met Kathrine at her work and had some birthday drinks with her. I didn’t get home to late though as Sunday I needed to pack for Berlin!
Sasha and me.
As usual I left everything to the last minute and quickly packed before getting on the bus to the Metro and then taking that to the airport. I checked in and met with Erik, Sune, Kristen and Lukas after the security check. There is no tax free when travelling inside the EU so couldn’t do any cheap shopping. I got a beer and next thing it was time to get on the plane. It was a really short trip. Seemed to have only just taken off then it is time to land again. We had met a few more from school at the plane and after we had our luggage took a bus that took as to the train that we needed to get to our hostel. The hostel is right next to the station so very easy. We checked in and dropped our bags then headed to an Italian place next door for some pizza. Then we had to wait for Borgar and Steve’s plane to arrive to check them in. Then it was time to hit the bar!! It is a very lively hostel we are in especially after the arrival of so many Danes! Phi, Phong, Alex, Nick and Dean turned up after being out with Paula and it was a fun night. I went to bed not long after the bar closed around 2am.
Waiting for the guys on the later flight.
German beer is goood! Steve & Phi having a laugh.
Monday morning it was up and on the bus at 9am for a Berlin highlights tour. It was nice being driven around and checking out some great spots in East and West Berlin. We had a short stop at the Olympic Stadium and then carried on to a very touristy spot with many great sights. Then we spit up and I was with a group whom went to visit a WW2 bunker. The guy who gave us the tour was very interesting and showed us around the bunker talking a lot. Then after some lunch we made our way to the Jewish Museum. I had been really looking forward to it but it did not live up to my expectations. It was late by the time we got back to the hostel and we just had time to get freshened up before a bunch of us went out for dinner. Had a nice meal & some yummy cocktails then it was back to the hostel to catch up with everyone and drink lots more yummy German beer =)

So it was after 2am again this morning when I went to bed. I have got heyfever pretty bad and decided to have a little sleep in this morning. Was going to meet the group doing the Berlin Wall tour at 12pm but then realised I didn’t know how to get there and was feeling pretty crappy. Lets hope the antihistamine pills do the trick, right I’m off to find the guys..
