Berlin

Such an amazing city!! Did a free walking tour yesterday and saw all the amazing memorials and buildings here. The parliment building has this glass dome on top that you can walk around that looks right over the sitting politicians. Pub crawl last night was fun. Learnt heaps about German history and particular about the cold war and Berlin wall. So so so interesting. Today I visited a former concentration camp. I dont think I could write anything to describe it, or that would be respectful of it so I wont. Very humbling experience. Anyway we are off to Amsterdam tonight (surprise!!) to try and find a job (surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

lol
well, we decided to come back here because it's fun, and then also maybe look for short-ish term work, to extend our holiday, if successful, we'll need to move our flights, but we're still going to be home by next year. we wanted to extend our trip anyway, but to actually fly and add new destinations turns out to be far too expensive. if so jeremy, guess what we'll likely be coming to?

no we haven't finished our plans. they still continue. who knows, maybe we can't find temporary work and we have to continue as planned?
