Wow, time flies. Or should I say time flew. When we signed our contract for our month-long stay in an apartment in Berlin, we were really, really excited. But at the same time, we wondered “ Is a month too long? What are we going to do with all that time?” We also wondered if it sounded too extravagant: “We’re going to travel for a month, then stay in Berlin for an entire month, and then finish it off with another month’s worth of travel, pass the caviar and Winston, can you pour me another scotch and soda? No not that scotch, the 100 year old bottle!” But as you’ve read in prior posts, staying in one spot saved us a lot of money in terms of room and board, and also gave us a needed break. And as you’ve also read in prior posts, we kept ourselves very busy. After three weeks we were still finding plenty of new things to see and explore, and I can honestly say I was never bored.
By the time our 4th week rolled around, we had a lot “housekeeping” to do. We had to nail down the details on the last month of our travel (Where are we going? Where are we staying?), clean the apartment, and do laundry, all on top of trying to enjoy our last week in Berlin. Much of this work was front loaded to the beginning part of the week because our dear friends John & Amanda were coming to Berlin and would be traveling with us for our next few stops! Amazing! We were so happy to see them and to have them traveling with us for a bit! When they finally made it to Berlin we took them on a site seeing extravaganza!
We also took them to a few of our favorite hang outs!
Eventually, it was time to leave Berlin. Personally, I was a bit sad to say “tchuss” but I was also really excited to get back to traveling, especially with our pals!
