Ever thought about a weekend in Berlin? We did and we went. What an amazing city. I feel very lucky that I live in Europe where you can just hop on a plane and within a couple of hours you can be at any of the wonderful, historical European cities. Read the Walk and Travel Berlin Travel Review.
I do keep thinking how lovely it would be to live in Australia or New Zealand, where there is a lot less people, much more open space, warmer weather, but you just can't hop on a plane and literally within a hour you are experiencing something totally new. A new culture, a new way of life, new, food, new language and at the moment new money!
Some people have their favourite European city, but I find this very hard to decide upon. There are so many of them and they are so beautiful in their own ways. Each one giving you something different at each turn. I managed to see a fair number of them on that age old tradition for young people called Inter Railing, where you get a month long train permit and cram in as much adventure as you possible can - seeing as many of the 30 countries that you can now visit and for only £145.
I can't remember how many we visited, but it was full of fun and adventure, from being robbed and locked up in Morocco to being thrown off a train in Baden Baden (we didn't know it's historical significance back then) to standing up on an overnight train to Amsterdam - and still managing to fall asleep!
Not sure what the next European destination will be - there are so many to choose from and we now have a little baby in tow. Good job we now have a baby backpack. Having just watched Vicky Christina Barcelona, Barcelona is high up on the list, but hey, I'm sure it will be a fantastic trip where ever we go.
