Berlin – Alles neu

It is a long winter… at least it feels so. It was definitely time for a holiday though. My cousin Maike lives in Berlin and went off for some days to visit her brother in Cologne – “Would you like to have my appartment for the time?” – sure thing. Here we are in Berlin and although Frankfrut seems big, huge and bussy it never stands a chance in comparison what Berlin is like. On the other hand, the people are more gently and way more relaxed than elsewhere.

The whole city is in a constant change! A good indication for that it the sheer amount of posters and stickers everywhere. The shows they announce are not even over and the next sticker/poster is put over it – like a living skin, that is constantly growing and peeling. Everywhere you go there are people; even on saturday all and everyone seems to be out in the streets. Great!

We lingered through the streets drawing huge circles on the map that start- and endpoint was Maikes apartment. My feet are permanently aching from walking these distances.

At the moment the sun is out and I found Peter Fox’ “Alles Neu” in the stereo. Fits perfect! We are out… damaging my feet for another round… …or should we take the bus this time? Guess we will, although that means that we miss the “Berliner Luft” that really has something about it.

Here are some impressions from the our trip… enjoy.
