Berlin


Yesterday we drove to Berlin. The car broke down when we got to the city and it was raining and we had to jump out of the car and push it to the side of the road!!!!!!!!

Attila managed to get it to start after wacking one of the battery connections (this is what they call the russian way of fixing things, just wack on it with something and it works again haha)

As soon as we parked the car we went and caught the train to Alexander Platz and were going to go up the Tv Tower (in the pic, smack bang center-its about 200m high and has a restaurant up there that revolves and has an amazing view apparently!) but the line up was so long so we barred that and headed to the Postdamer Platz.

The rain stopped and it started to clear up when we got to Postdamer Platz :P so we walked around and got to bits of the Berlin Wall. (the pic of me with the angry face-the side I am on there was the eastern side of Berlin)

We followed the wall till we got to Brandenburger Tor (Top middle and Middle left in pic) and then we checked out the Reichstag (Top right and Middle bottom in pic) before making our way back to Postdamer Platz.

Before we left for home we caught the Simpsons movie :P there was a film museum and an Imax theater in the Postdamer Platz so we wanted to go have a look if anything was on and there was also a cinema in there and the Simpsons happened to be showing so we went and watched it! =)
