Berlin is excellent - transport, open spaces, weather(working on a tan), things to do. We have had only 2 days here and will leave tonight feeling like we need to come back. Only 4 million people live in the city which is probably the reason why it is so relaxed. Its also got alot of open spaces. Obviously the wall is a big part of the tourism here, and it is quite amazing to see and think about its significance. Our hostel for the last 2 nights has been a boat out by an old section of the wall in the East of the city. You can check it out when I put the pictures up which will inevitably be very soon. Tchuss!!!

The Canon G9
All the photos on this blog were taken using the Canon G9. I just have to say a few words on it - it was had an effect on me. Never before has a camera facilitated me to be able to take great photos with such ease. (I am trying to be sarcastic, but it is a brilliant camera, you should buy one - I'm glad I did).
