Bye bye Berlin

Cooking dinner in Helsinki because the food here is too expensive and gross to bother with, ready to fly home tomorrow. I fell in love with Berlin. I could have spent the entire month there and been more than content. easily one of the top 3 cities I have visited. even though it looks and feels slightly seedy, it runs incredibly smooth. Dogs and children look after themselves, everyone is friendly and speaks near perfect English, there are loads of bike lanes and great public transport. even though the city is huge, we still did most of it on foot. I know I'll be back soon.

Museum pass

Bought a three day museum pass and hit about six of the fifty+ museums in the city. Saw the tallest dino skeleton in the world, and entire room filled with jarred animal specimens, massive ancient architecture rebuilt indoors, Hammurabi's original code of laws, the world famous bust of Nefertiti and more classic and edgy modern/ contemporary art than you could imagine. Best 9 euro I spent the whole trip.
