Germany

This trip was also organized by my mom's coworkers, but this time it was not only me and mom, but we also took my sister and my best friend. Yay!

During the trip we visited Berlin, Potsdam and Dresden and it was amazing!

We started with Potsdam and Sansoucci palace. We started at the park and since it was spring break it was already quite hot in Germany. Not to mention our tour guide didn't have the greatest qualifications you would want: he would always make historical mistakes (we were studying history very hard at the time, so we could spot his mistakes) and when confronted about it, he wouldn't admit it. There was also one funny accident when we started walking in the park and we had to reach the palace, even our tour guide was not sure which way to go, so he asked some locals in German. The trouble is, I understand a bit of German and I could understand that when the people answered "Ich weiss nicht" that means they do not know. It does not mean "A kilometer in that direction" how our tour guide translated it. But in the end we reached our destination, took a couple of pictures and headed to the bus.Thankfully, the bus was waiting next to the palace and we didn't have to walk back in heat.

Next stop - Berlin! We had a great walk in Unden den Linden avenue, we took photos at the Brandenburg gates, we had a stop at Starbuck's (since we got the souvenirs we wanted and walked the alley to and from couple times and walked around as well) and had some coffee and listened to an amateur band playing next to Brandenburg gates. I have been to Berlin twice and I still haven't seen everything! I have been to Hard Rock Cafe there, I've been in Reichstag building, but mostly we would drive around with bus and just see the sights very fast and I don't really like that, I'd like to walk through, and yes, I know Berlin is huge, but the best way to know a city is not on bus, it's on foot.

And theeeen we reached Dresden. Now first of all, why Dresden was awesome is cause we got to live in a four star hotel. And I shared a room with my best friend. And we could see the hotel's kitchen through the window so we were joking that we were watching live cooking show. One night we kind of went crazy, cause Wolverine was on and Gambit was one of the characters and I had a deck of card, so we ended up throwing cards all over our room. It was quite a mess. But at least we had fun. We also did evening trips around Dresden and during daytime we checked out the old town and Zwinger palace. It was beautiful.

Soon afterwards we headed home.

P.S. One night we slept in Poland and there was Viva with German subtitles. Guess who ended up singing Pokerface and I'm Too Sexy in German? *proudly raises hand*
