Alexanderplatz

After feeling not bad the last 2 days in Prauge, my cold is back better than ever just in time for another travel day. I was so miserable this morning. I was actually pretty sad to leave Prauge. We got on the bus, and I pretty much just shut my eyes as soon as I got on. We're off to Berlin today, though, and I've been pretty excited about it from the start. We stopped for lunch in dresden. We were only there for an hour and a half, but it seemed like a really nice city. We went into a lutheran church that is a sight of a war crime from WWII. The English were bombing Dresden because it had a very established railway system. Residents started taking shelter in their churches, especially this lutheran one. Sir Winston Churchill knew this, so he ordered the air force to start bombing the churches with civillians in it. Lots of people died, and the church was almost completely destroyed. It was rebuilt afterward with parts of the old church. After a quick visit, six of us walked around to find some food, and we settled on a pizza joint. When we sat down, we realized we had 30 minutes till we had to be on the bus, so it was a little rushed. I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't get anything, but everyone's pizzas looked so good. They were massive, too. The pizzas were flopping over the side of the plates lol. Everyone had to eat really fast, so Nick and Pearse cut them in half and started rolling them up them up into a burrito. It was pretty entertaining to watch. We got back on the bus to go straight to the hostel. We had enough time to check in, go to the bathroom, and get back on the coach. Beck and Paulo wanted to give us a coach tour of Berlin, where we drove past some pretty cool things. They only gave brief descriptions because we will be doing a walking tour that sees most of this stuff tomorrow. We got off at the Eastside gallery on the Berlin wall. I thought this was so cool, the art work seemed so creative and random. There was an included dinner at the hostel tonight, but it was pretty trash. The stuffed chicken breast was good, but everything else was wack. A good handful of people went to kfc right after dinner lol. I wanted to go clubbing or check out the night life scene in one of the biggest party cities around, but I felt so shitty and ended up passing out at 8 for some much needed rest.Read more
