Berlin

We are in Berlin. Do you think we came here straight from Frankfurt? No of course. We missed Dublin and its Temple Bar, so for 3 days we slept there :). But we cannot stay in the same place for more than a couple of days, so here we are, the capital of Germany.

You are leaving the American Sector.

Just one of the sign remembering the division of the city of Berlin during the second World War. Here it is full of these signs: from the open museum of Terror to the rest of the Berlin Wall, from the memorial square to the Brandenburg Gate.

We did not miss anything, corner after corner. There was a picture in the musem of Terror which speaks alone... We cannot do anything now, but we can remember and learn something. Berlin, even if has a respectable history, is a quite new city, grown esponentially up after the big 2nd War.

It's a organized city which does not forget the past. Unfortunately, I will remember this city even because I was forced to go to the hospital for a skin infection caused by something that maybe I will never know. Maybe It's a clear sign... Anyway, our Berlin Ball is full of fridges magnetics :)

Frankfurt

Here we go. We are in Frankfurt, the capital of the Euro currency. This means yesterday we arrived to Wroklaw, we slept, and we took this morning the flight to Germany. My luggage was still at the reception waiting for me. But today is another day and we are here in Frankfurt. Some days ago we received an email from the hostel just reminding us that our accomodation was situated in the red light discrict... What can we do now? Anything of course. Anyway, a part of this, the hostel was pretty good, confortable and clean.

As always, we started with breakfast and we have been walking since that moment. Here, at the downtown Frankfurt am Main there is a Marathon that concludes his 40 km in the center, the main hall, the Römerberg. We enjoyed seeing people arriving there after 12/13 hours. Maybe the next trip will be a marathon somewhere in the world...maybe NY...

Back to hostel after a nice supper with Gnocchi al ragu'... a snooker session while watching a movie and then dreaming...
