Day 33 and 34 - Berlin

Berlin is an absolutely amazing city. It has this unique atmosphere, probably derived from its status during the cold war.

It is full of alternative people and has a huge art scene, but no one seems to do anything. It would be slightly hypocritical of someone cycling across Europe to accuse people of not working, but it would be entirely accurate. It seems everyone is an aspiring artist or musician.

The architecture and history of the city is absolutely fascinating, and worth checking out for yourself. Even standing at checkpoint Charlie it is difficult to imagine how fundamentally important this city has been since 1933, and even before.

A lot of thanks to Stu too for joining me for the day too.
