we fail at sightseeing
we have been pretty lazy, now that we’re in germany. saturday Heike dropped us at the train station and we were off to Honnover. met Karina and came bak here to her appartment to hang out. the first night I slept on a single air matress while Sama and James had the bed… it was the worst sleep ever. Worse than Rome and the fold out bed of doom. so we woke late on sunday, and met Karina late to see the Hannover sights; the city hall, the city church… yep that’s it. had coffee. went to a chinese restraunt for dinner.
yesterday (monday) we got up early and took the train to Berlin for the day. we’d checked the weather forcast, but patches of snow and sun it was NOT. it snowed/rained all day. we waited for about an hour in line at the Bundestag (parliment building) to go in, and they where only letting people go on the roof and in the glass dome there, which kind of sucked because the inside it pretty cool. plus we were cold and would have liked staying inside longer.
after that we walked around looking for a mcdonalds, and getting colder and colder. finally got directed to Potzdammer Platz, but still had trouble finding it. it was getting late anyway, so we made our way to Checkpoint Charlie, and the the German Dome, the French Dome, and the Berlin Dome. Warmed up a bit and Dunkin Donuts near Brandenburger Tor, and then went back to catch the train home.
today we’re meeting Karina again and checking out a new mall. the sun is shining for once! we will try for Hannover zoo tomorrow, and then thurday we’re invited to Thomas and Renate’s (Christoph’s brother and sister-in-law) for the afternoon.
friday we’ll be taking the train to Paris, and have booked seats for the 11pm show at Moulin Rouge (you don’t want to know how expensive it is). saturday it’s back to London with the eurostar, and sunday back home.
