Berlin

Hi Everyone,

Ive had a fairly eventual last few days. Monday night I stayed at Heidi's and Tuesday i took a day trip to Luzern, a really picturesque midevil farming town on lake zurich. heidi has an amazing apartment, its on a hill about a 20min walk from downtown zurich and from her porch you can see the entire city. i uploaded photos arent her computer but didnt ahve time to put them up. originally I was planning on staying at Heidis and doing several more day trips before traveling to Marseille... but I had a change of heart and decided to hop on the night train to Berlin tuesday evening. Berlin is amazing, i definitely want to come back here in and spend more time. yesterday i took a walking tour and saw most of the major sites; sections of the berlin wall, the reichstag, the brandenberg gate and checkpoint charlie amongst others. today i went to museum island and saw one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the gates of babylon. the highlight of my day though was 'aquadom', a touristy private aquarium with a massive fishtank that has an elevator that goes through it. i leave tomorrow for a day in lyon then sat i get to marseille.

foreign food of the day= currywurst
