Amsterdam... was ok. Cologne, was alright. I daytripped out on suggestion and found this AMAZING park. It was like straight out of the Final Fantasy games (for you nerds out there) or would be a great place for Jedi/ninja training (for the rest of you nerds out there). There is a big waterfall which I'm told is turned on during the weekends and Wednesday afternoons. It runs through the park, fills stream beds and is a few km long. However, when it is off, there are more passages and places to explore. Small stone outposts in the woods, castles to climb and explore, buried in the forest. Straight out of lord of the rings. Many photos taken. Well, that was a few days ago. For the past two days, I've been in Berlin. Met a couple people at a cool hostel, and we went out yesterday for a free walking tour. After that, we found out that on Thursday, after 6pm, all the museums on Museum Island are free. So we hit those up. Then one of the gals got tired and went home (haha, by home, I mean the hostel), so the other one and I went out after sundown and took those cool artsy poetic night shots of busses in blurred motion with the Reichstag as the backdrop. It was a good time. Today we're going on a Third Reich tour, and seeing more of the city. Berlin is huge. I've been told it is 9 times larger than Paris. And it lacks a city center. It has about 5 city centers. We did one yesterday. I could spend a lot of time here. But, I fly out the day after tomorrow. So tomorrow I may go see a concentration camp, then get packed up. I want to get to Hamburg by midnight, when public transportation is probably still running. Then find my way to the airport (I have no idea how to actually get there) and spend the night there, since it is cheaper than a hostel, especially for only a couple hours of sleep. I fly out at 7:45 am to London, then make a connection to Detroit. I have no idea what time (or day, really) that I get in, and I honestly don't know how I'll get home at this point. I hadn't really thought that far ahead. I just recently realized that my Eurail trainpass won't work in Michigan, for a variety of reasons. Any ideas, anyone? :) Well, this may or may not be my last post from Europe. We will see what happens! Later!
That time and once again, I'm bouncin' round the room.
