Day Thirty-Four: Off to Berlin

As I sit on my plane 20 days after this. Makes me realize how much you do forget! But really, I do remember not too much happened this day. We drove up from Prague, hungover once again, and had a short stop in Dresden. I even had two dates, as you can see. The WWII story behind Dresden is super sad. It was an important transport center for the Nazis so churchhill bombed them. But what they did was do a couple of warning bombs away from populated areas so people can take shelter; in Dresden, that would mostly be the protestant church. Then church continued to go and bomb the shit out of the church and kill everyone inside... completely innocent people. It's really hard to slowly learn about the horrible things the allies did that we just don't hear about. I did have a chance to take a quick look, and it was beautiful while looking different from Catholic churches. We had a coffee and a nice bathroom break. I feel bad for whoever had to follow me and ethan into that bathroom. After we didn't have a lot of time so we ran and shoved our faces and made a pizza burrito. When we arrived in Berlin, Bec gave us a short bus tour explaining the area and some of the buildings. Even with a short stop at the part of the Berlin wall with all the artwork. And no, Nick and I are not actually kissing. It was nice too because Nick and I wanted to have a chill one on one chat about our life's and other stuff. For the first time on the trip, we had a chance to actually go off and get time apart from everyone! We went to a very authentic German bar where they had a traditional German band playing too! We even got a beer stein that was like a 1.5 liters of beer... unfortunately it was not very quiet so not the best place but we made it work. Some of the ladies were having a self care night and bought a whole bunch of face masks, and I was invited. Ethan was so out of it. I'm pretty sure he went to bed at 8. The face masks were fun, but the problem was that it won't stick to my lower face due to my beard. It was still a fun night, just chilling and chatting with everyone. Czytaj więcej
