Moving...
(These will get more interesting in a few hours!)
Arrived Amsterdam
27 февраля 2023 г., Нидерланды ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Made it to Amsterdam and found my hotel. Oh my goodness, had forgotten how beautiful Amsterdam is. I will enjoy having a good wander tomorrow.
Morning wandering round Amsterdam
28 февраля 2023 г., Нидерланды ⋅ ❄️ 1 °C
Chilly morning walking around Amsterdam, looking at canals, bikes, buildings and the amazing plants everyone seems to have outside their building

Evening in Amsterdam
28 февраля 2023 г., Нидерланды ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
I may have eaten too many chips!
But I think I probably walked enough to work them off (22812 steps).
Amsterdam quite pretty at night too. I do love city canals and rivers at night, with theЧитать далее
Foggy Amsterdam morning
1 марта 2023 г., Нидерланды ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C
Left Amsterdam in a thick fog. So thick I had to check on Google maps that I was actually in front of the railway station.
First time using the interrail pass QR code to get me through a stationЧитать далее
Train from Amsterdam to Berlin
1 марта 2023 г., Нидерланды
Quite a long journey, but it was comfortable and warm. More leg room and also felt like wider seats than in UK.
I got kicked out of the first seat as someone had reserved it (reservations weren'tЧитать далее
ПутешественникI absolutely didn’t follow your link for a 15% discount on Eurorailing and end up in a three hour rabbit hole of dreams…….I’m so doing this one day. I might have to wait until I’m 60 though!
Arrived in Berlin
1 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
And now I'm in Berlin. In Charlottenburg. Much bigger and more modern hotel room. And a lift rather than a gazillion super steep stairs.
Also S-Bahn trains are included in interrail, so I may notЧитать далее
Morning wander in Charlottenburg
2 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
Had quite a lie-in (the bed in this hotel is soooooo comfortable) and did a bit of pattern-making, but did get out when it was still morning.
Walked down a couple of S-bahn stops to get a feel forЧитать далее
On the s-bahn
2 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
I really love how the S-bahn allows you to see lots of the city. Unfortunately most of the photos I took are doubled up with reflections of me.
I took the S-bahn out to Ostbanhof to see the East SideЧитать далее
East Side Gallery
2 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
Wow! A remaining bit of the wall that artists came and painted with their own impression of the wall coming down. They have been updated and I think there may also be some new ones too. Very powerful.
Afternoon wander in East Berlin
2 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
I then wandered around a bit on the East side. I found an art centre, but only found one exhibition in it (I feel there was probably more, but it wasn't obvious). It was a photo exhibition ofЧитать далее
Hackescher Markt
2 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
And finally (unless I do make it out to the jazz bar, which I feel is unlikely), a few pics from Hackescher Market, which was one of those 'let's jump of the tube* here' moments.
*Not the tube, IЧитать далее
Nice buildings near Tiergarten
3 марта 2023 г., Германия
Got the S-bahn a few stops down to Tiergarten so I could have long walk through the big park.
Nature bath in Tiergarten
3 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C
It's still a bit early in the year, so the trees were all quite bare, but it was still lovely to walk through.
Statues and monuments
3 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C
Some statues and monuments in or close to Tiergarten
Interesting Buildings
3 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
Some interesting buildings after Tiergarten and near Alexanderplatz
Aufwiedersehen Berlin
4 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C
Off to Munich for a day and a bit.
Hallo München
4 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C
Longish (5 hours), but comfortable, journey from Berlin to Munich. Sadly, my seat had no window, and the people in front were using the coat hanger thing, so couldn't even get glimpses out that smallЧитать далее
Beautiful buildings
5 марта 2023 г., Германия
So many beautiful buildings!
Statues and other 3D art
5 марта 2023 г., Германия
So I really like Munich! I have so money photos I have to break them up into different chunks.
There are LOADS of statues and decorative people or animals holding up plinths and the like. And I sawЧитать далее
Colourful buildings
5 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
There are SO MANY beautifully coloured buildings.
More beautiful buildings
5 марта 2023 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
And more. There are a lot of beautiful buildings (at least according to my taste)
ПутешественникWandering where you are heading off to first? Stroud station still looking inviting! Xxxxx
ПутешественникFirst stop is Amsterdam. Last time I was there was for Jenny's 50th (I think it must have been her 50th).
