Day 7 - Travel Day to Berlin

Willkomen! We made it into Germany today! Wahoo! We had to drive 6 hours from Amsterdam to Berlin which was at many points boarding on delirium but thankfully we made it to this oh so fascinating capital! Along the way of course there were a few notable mentions, like the gentlemen who came out of the ladies rest stop bathroom and instructed us with a waving finger, “go not in there” in a jumbled accent. He had such a horrified look on his face that we quickly retreated to the nearest bushy fence and took our chances!Lest us not forget we are in Germany, home of the autobahn, probably the most famous, free-for-all piece of pavement in the world. That being said I was driving about 170kmh or 105mph which I consider to be respectable and I kid you not people were flying by me with jet fuel propulsion. I'm talking 220-260kmh/~ 150mph. This is something you absolutely cannot miss before you die, because you feel you're nearing your 'final destination' the entire time you're having the experience. Let's just say my hands were quiet sore when I arrived in Berlin.

Somehow during our drive, Danielle underwent a transformation in the back seat and could seriously pronounce any German word we came across. Just like that, it's as if the Rosetta stone had been embedded in her brain while she slept. For the rest of the trip we relied solely on her interpretation of all things German.Once we reached Berlin, we quickly checked in and headed to dinner in a local square. It was packed as the world cup had started yesterday and every cafe had huge plasma's angled out towards the street for all to watch. Needless to say, there weren't many woman eating there that night, but that's the way we like it. It was such a cool environment and the weather was absolutely beautiful so it was a great evening. absolutely delicious! We also enjoyed some German beer which was quite enjoyable too.Goodnacht!
