We made it to Berlin!

We had spent the last days before moving here to Berlin packing stuff, cleaning the house, finishing work, and preparing the house for the people who would sublet our apartment in Cambridge. At times it felt we would never been able to finish and the day of our departure would arrive with nothing ready. At times, it felt like this day would never arrive. But it did.

The flight was a pain and it felt endless, but the city was bright and gorgeous when we arrived. Our first apartment is in the Western part of Kreuzberg, just north of Viktoriapark. We need to explore that park more. The neighborhood is so pretty. It's very lively, full of coffee shops, little stores and cafes, but also very green and covered with trees.

We spent the first day exploring the area. It's fun to think that we'll live here for the next few weeks. I need to make a list of everything I want to do but it's too overwhelming to think about it right now.

One nice detail, though: there seems to be tons of stationary stores around. I love those.Meer informatie
