Germany.... Slow trains and fast little cars!!

So we had 3 action packed nights in Berlin. It started off not so successfully... we left Krakow, Poland at 8pm on an overnight train due to arrive in Berlin at 7am giving us the whole day to explore the city. The carriages were rather cramped, but you could lie down at least. We woke up at around 8.30am. We were not in Berlin. We hadnt even got out of Poland. They had electrical problems in the night and in the end we got to Berlin at 3pm. 19 hour train ride. We were very tired! We checked into the hostel and then had a rest before we went and explored some of Berlin. Very cool mix of historical buildings and very modern buildings. The

photo of Chris hugging the giraffe is made entirely out of lego. Just outside a legoland kind of place which was probably meant for kids but still a lot of fun!

The next day we drove down to Munich on the Autobahn which was a lot of fun. We had a Mini Cooper. We only just fitted both our bags and us in. Everyone drives very fast (especially Troy) and the roads were so good. Very smooth. And no sign of NZ roadworkers pretending to be working while leaning on a spade and smoking. It was all very efficient!

Next stop..... Switzerland!
