BRRR-LIN

The flight went smothly. We were on time, went through security just fine, had a smoth flight...and made it to Berlin. I still like taking the train alot more however, but 25 hour train ride or three hour flight? I will take the three hour flight. Coming from 25 plus weather to bitter 5 plus cold, was a bit of an adjustment for us. Still, me and stef are elated about the fall season. Christie is not so happy about the cold. We found our way to the hostel just fine....and wow was this a nice hostel.
Grand Hostel is what it is called, and for good reason. This place was NICE and for only 17 euros a night. I was almost sad that we were not staying our whole stay at this place. No bunk beds, all seperate beds. With Duvees and comfy new mattress'. The whole place looked brand new even though it was in an old building. They even apoligized for not having a lift. Child, please....we are used to not having a lift.

We headed out to find some food. Walking around with the leaves falling and the brisk nip on the nose, I was in love with Berlin. I love walking around this city....so beauitful. We found this one place and had a seat. Nice atmosphere and nice jazz music playing. A really cozy place. Then we took a look at the menu. 50% off all the prices. Holy Shit! This place was SOOOOO cheap. Pasta for 1.95, steak for 4.00, and chicken for 3.00. We might have gone a little crazy. We had two cups of tea, a mixed appy platter, escargo, a bowl of soup, and I had a chicken with salad and veggies and fries, and stef and chirstie had seafood salad. Guess how much that cost us. 13 euros each. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! And it was GOOOOOODDD food. We plan to go back.

After we walked around for awhile, that was followed by a seista and a shower. We decided that we would go to a movie that night. A movie you say? Yes, a movie. We just wanted to chill out. Plus, its still cool to say that we went to a movie in Berlin. It was a late movie so we decided to get some dinner. We went to a Greek resturant. Not quite as cheap but still stupid cheap. We got the most amazing Greek salad and bread with tariziki ever. Amazing.

Then we walked to the movie theatre. This was the only english speaking theatre in Berlin, and within walking distance of the hostel. It was in the Sony centre in Potsdam area. This area is one of the most modren new areas in Berlin. It was incredible. Ive never seen anything so big, and colorful and unique in my life. We got some hot chocolate and sat in awe. The tickets werent bad and they give you assigned seating. Weird, eh? We got some popcorn....no butter (really sad face) but you can get sweet or salty. It was OK. The seat were incredibly comfy...Ive never sat in anything so plush before.
The movie was hilarious. It was mostly just nice to chill out, considering we were all pretty exhausted. Walking home, we past the a great many shops and buildings. Walking in the brisk air you really appericiate Berlin. I could see myself living here.
