Tuesday 20 October
It's an early start. First the walk to the train station. Getting tickets and making the last mad dash to get on the train. Only one stop and we make our way up to the bus stops. Our bus is waiting and we are early. At 8 am we leave. It's not too far to the border and then we are in Germany. We have a 30min stop around lunch time and arrive in Berlin about 3:45. The day passed very quickly! It didn't feel that long! We figure out the train tickets and head to our hostel. It's right outside the train stop. Handy. After checking and settling in we go out to dinner at a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant very close to the hostel. The food is quite good, but not as great as our favourite restaurant in newcastle. After dinner we wander the streets. There is a big tower thing nearby that we check out. There are unique arty stores and department stores. Many still open despite the late hour. There are trams coming and going across the pedestrian square. Police cars come flying across the square and soon after we hear what sounds like shots. Later as we walk past there is a lot of police and a man on the ground. Back at the hostel the showers are lovely and hot! Yay! A ten bed room but super spacious it's nice.
