Sunny Lunch

It was a really nice and sunny day in Hedelundvej... for once it seemed like the rain was gone. Kiwi suggested ordering chicken, and Stef and me decided to eat outside.

Carrying the table out we found Anne Marie taking the sun, so of course she was invited to join. When we were almost through with lunch, the Austrian girls and Stefan arrived... they brought waffles!
So what seemed just like a little lunch outside became a big reunion with laughs, chats, hand crafts and love...


Just note how Ferxo and Kiwi's relation improves as now they love each other instead of fighting. Flower power at its best!

What is that?


Arts and crafts... lesson 1

oooh! and it is useful! Romance... Lesson 1


Super Stef!

Last trip days... (the final part)

And thus... finaly the last part from the Esbjerg-Berlin tour is here. To be sincere not much is left to be said...

Early in the morning Maria, FerXo and me woke up and decided to go shopping... the bad news is that it was easter Friday and all the shops were closed. So we just went to the meeting point to catch Ale and Ismael. We took a really nice breakfast in an Italian restaurant that FerXo spotted on the way to the hostel.

Once breakfast was enjoyed and around midday we enrolled on the quest back to Esbjerg, but decided to take one last stop in Germany... to be specific, in Hamburg! I just love this city! So we stoped to have lunch and take an express sight seeing tour since everything was closed. We had our last Bratwurst in the piers, hopped on the car and drove back to Esbjerg.

Just like that, the really nice express trip ended, and only the good memories remain portrayed in pictures... The complete set of images can be found in my flickr collection -> HERE!

Berlin by Museums (Part 3)

La Puerta de Brandemburgo

So the second day arrived...
We all woke up at a good time and decided to enroll into a museum visit!

We started by visiting the Altes Museum (Old Museum) which had Nefertiti's Statue in it and a big exposition regarding Egiptian and Greek sculptures. Amongs the most interesting things is the green head and some other egiptian tomb statues.

Afterwards we went to the Pergamon Museum... This is the second time I visit this museum and it really is impressive. It has a reconstruction of some temples of the Pergamon kingdom which was located on what nowadays is Turkey. Definatly this one museum is my favorit history museum...

Afterwards, the sight seeing tour started... a walk down the Unter den Linden road took us all the way to the Brandemburg Gate. And then the walk continued but it is better described by the pictures here ----> I will try to update the picture set in order to put all of the pictures there... on the mean time, enjoy some of them!

By night we took it slow since we wanted to get to see the rest of the city on Friday. The solution, a small walk through Alexander Platz and a little Kebab dinner. We were fit to continue the tour the next day.

Tom Morello... his work loyal to his roots of politically charged messages. Here is some new stuff from him. His album is due the 24th of this month.

Finally I'm able to write a little more after the exam I had to present. I am sorry if it has been a while, but I wonder if even one person ever stops to read this blog.

Well last post ended with us arriving to Berlin, the first impersion of the city was besides the complete look of a city, buildings, avenues, cars and noise; the "windshield cleaner" in a stop light. Once again I felt what living in a respectable city feels like.

We finally arrived to the hostel City Stay (highly recomended by me), after registering and payin we came to the surprise mentioned in Road to Berlin (part 1); it was the hostel's aniversary so we were invited to join the celebrations with all the free beer we wanted! (Keep in mind the date 4th of April). So we put our stuff in our 8 bed dorm, where we found another Spanish girl and a Mexican woman... yes 8 out of 8 Spanish speakers! We invited them for a beer (free beer) and found out the food was also free so we stayed for a while and later went clubbing... we should have stayed since there were much more people in the hostel's party. Even though it was really nice to move around the city by night and go to a part I haven't been to, the "World clock" in Alexander Platz. So we partied untill not that late since we had a long 2nd day in Berlin!!!

On the 4th of April the chicas, FerXo, Ismael and me decided to make a trip down to Berlin... One of the niciest trips I've done. There is so much to tell about that I will split the blog in several parts

I needed this trip like hell! My humour was getting really grumpy while staying in Esbjerg, and I eventhought I was becoming a mean and undesireable person... turns out it is nothing like that, it is just the price of living in such a small town!

Moving on to happier things, Ale rented a nice Peugeot 307 and we all hopped in really early that Wednesday. This was the beginning to one of the best trips I've had. I have so many stories to tell. I was the first to drive un till Flensburg, from there, the next stop was the beautiful Hamburg.

We arrived close to midday into "HH" city. We were readdy to kill for a Bratwurst and a Beer, so we inmediately parked close to the center, went to the Rathaus and walked up the shopping street (shouldn't have done that with the Chicas there... it took us a while to find some place to get a Bratwurst). Finally we ended up in Mö-Bratwurst having a nice curry susage and a coke. We walked a little throught the city and came to the "Park on Drugs" where we took some simple but nice pictures.

After that and the respective toilet break we hopped on the car to try to find our way to Berlin... only detail... no map, no GPS and no clue how to get there. Along with Maria we went to buy a map and to get directions on how to get there; turns out my German is not that bad! hehehehe and we asked a bus driver how to get there, once understood (30 minutos later) we took the car again and with Fercho at the wheel the journy took us to Berlin, where a nice surprise was awaiting us!!!

to be continued................................................

Wir fahren nach Berlin

Back to the city! After around one year without appearing around Berlin, now all of the sudden I'm happily joining the chicas tomorrow to visit the city. Last time I was there the weather was freezing and half of the called uppon team was nice to travel with, the other half... well anyway.

This time the weather seems friendlier, and up to ten degrees Celsius are expected for the days we will be there, maybe a little rain but nothing serious. By now I am really looking forward to appear again in such a nice city, and be able to take pictures in one of my favourite cities!

Berlin Berlin! Wir fahren nach BERLIN!
