Willkommen auf Deutschland! part 2


Sorry, I’ve been rather lazy knowing summer is here. *grins* Korean dramas have been keeping me occupied throughout the day. And night.

We arrived at Frankfurt and stayed over at a friend’s house. The initial plan was to drop the car in Hamburg while Syamim and Nabiela take a train to Berlin and then fly off to London the following morning. After further consideration, visiting Hamburg was cancelled and all five of us left to Berlin the very next morning. Was too exhausted to drive; I slept throughout the 9 hours journey.

To our surprise, Berlin was freezing cold with the wind blowing hard and rain came down now and then. After going around Berlin for a bit, we dropped off the car and had doner kebab (which was supposed to be delish, and it is!) for dinner. Fortunately I’m in my layers so I didn’t feel that cold; gave my outer coat for them to borrow. Everyone was getting knackered by the time we reached the hostel again. However, me, Arif and Syamim went for a night walk at the Brandenburg Tor while experiencing the night life in Berlin, specifically the underground.

The next morning, I woke up knowing the other girls left for London. Was that tired that I didn’t realised they came in to bid goodbye. Waking up to beautiful clouds (which I wished I took a picture of them) felt as if I’d rather stay in and enjoy the comfy bed than walking about in Berlin. Then again, chances are very rare- I finally woke up and went for a shower before heading out. We got into Madam Tussauds and Sea Life; I’d definitely enjoyed Sea Life more whatnot with the pretty sharks and starfishes. We had kebab again for lunch and head off to the Tor and Checkpoint Charlie. By the time we reached to the museums, they were all closed. Arif loves the doner there so we decided to find another shop for dinner.

Last day in Berlin finally; spent the morning in museums. By noon, we left to the airport and I especially was excited to be home!

Oh did I mention? Chondritis attacked me quite a few times in Berlin. Only in Berlin. Looks like I have to avoid cold windy places. Or rather, I shall have it checked this summer! Woohoo~

But I guess bad luck never ends there. Carelessly, I left my spectacles in a cab and for the next few days or so before I leave for Malaysia, I shall be half-blinded.  Oh well, I should really get used to this, shouldn’t I?



PS: Open up and truth shall be revealed.
