Berlin

So I found the picures, so I figured I get the post up! Here we go....

We left Tuesday evening, after I took my Multivariable Calculus in Swedish test(still don't know the grade on that). Will and I got bored in Lund, so we took an earlier than planned train to CPH. It turned out it was a good thing that we did, because the train ended up being 45 minutes late. Made it to our flight just fine though. We flew Air Berlin, and the flight was quite short, only about an hour. Even though it was so short, we still got fed some snacks. Nice.

Once we landed, we caught a bus, then the subway to our hostel. It turned out it was pretty easy to get to the hostel. Wow, it was a really nice hostel. Check out some of the pictures. It was called Wombats. Many of the things that we extra at other hostels I've stayed at were free here. They even gave you a free beer! Gotta love Germany. Will and I enjoyed our free beer, and turned in for the night.

Wednesday morning we got our butts out of bed at a decent hour, so that we could make the free walking tour. It was nice, the tour guide picked up our group from the lobby of the hostel. Once we walked to meet up with the rest of the tour outside the Brandenburg Gate, we went on the tour. In the pictures you can see Will making a fool of himself, by request of the tour guide. On the tour we saw the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the Holocaust Memorial, stood were Hitler's bunker used to be (an ugly parking lot), walked past many Soviet buidlings, the remaining part of the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charle, Twin Churches, the book burning memorial, and lots of other fancy buildings.

After the tour, Will and I made our way back to the hostel to nap and enjoy the bars Happy Hour pizza. We ended up just staying there the rest of the night.

On Thursday, we were lazy and slept in. Once we had a gourmet lunch at BK in Alexanderplatz, we made our way to the Riechstag, and went to the top, where its covered in a glass dome. I don't remember where, but we ate dinner, then made our way to museum island. On Thursday nights, the museums are open for free. Unfortuantly, most of the museums were closed because they had some fancy exhibits that were not free. We did go in the art museum, which was boring, because it only had church carvings, and then to the eygpt museum, which was a little better.

Afterwards, we went back to the hostel to sleep. Early the next morning, we flew back to CPH.
