It turns out that I had misread the map so instead of meeting underneath the clock tower in Old Town, the tour started in Wenceslas Square, a shopping area in New Town (while newer than Old Town, it was still founded in the 14th century!). The boys weren't in the square by the clock so I figured they had realized the mistake and gone to the actual meeting point. So I walked through the little streets of Old Town and past all the shops along the avenue leading to ...

Berlin is an incredible city with no shortage of things to do or see. I could spend weeks here but I've already stayed twice as long as I originally planned and there's still so much more to see in Europe. So this morning I packed everything up, grabbed breakfast and said goodbye to everyone at Hostel Aloha. Three guys from North Carolina (Rodie, Andrew and Brad) happened to be heading to Prague as well so we caught the bus right outside down to the main station ...

Our tour guide Homer was originally from Holland and said that he lived an alternative life with an alternative girlfriend and an alter...

It was used during the Berlin Airlift from 1948-49 and the main building used to be one of the largest buildings in the world but now the airport is closed and the land is being converted into a park. Patrick, Ugo, Roxanne and I rode the metro down and grabbed some drinks from a grocery store before we en...
