When we were away..

Near the Gendarmenmarkt


Matty at the Brandenburg Gate

We just got back from Berlin on Thursday. All in all, it was quite a good trip. The hotel was nice (you can just see it in the left background of the top photo), we slept a lot, shopped a bit, ate a lot, etc.. It also made me appreciate London weather a bit more because it rained incessantly all the 5 days we were there!

Berlin is quite a strange city, probably due to its history. It's got a mish-mash of very different feels, which somehow just don't seem to blend together in any cohesive way at all. Still, it was very nice being in a foreign country with a different language. Hehe, and it's kinda nice having a kid who still needs an afternoon nap -- gave me an excuse to go back for a nap too! =)
