Getting Technical…

Well there was a lot of walking, and a lot more walking, and a lot more after that. The street car service is pretty expensive. It started with a lengthy walk south to the “Gasometer Schöneberg” I can’t really explain what it is because I don’t know, but it’s a giant tower of different levels … More Getting Technical…

The Big Schnitzel

Well, I made it out of Schwerin, and headed to The Big App… err I mean The Big Schnitzel. Yep, back to Berlin! The capital and biggest city in Germany, though still it has significantly less than half the population of New York. Sooo much still to do, so I will be here for a … More The Big Schnitzel

LübecKiel

Well it was another fairly successful day! It started with a casual continental hotel breakfast, then off to some of the major churches in Lübeck. First was the St. Petri Kirche, or “St. Peter’s Church” which has a very high observation platform at the top of the tower giving a great view all over the … More LübecKiel

The Hanseatic League

Today was mostly a long and boring travel day, and one of my trains was delayed by a whopping whole 5 minutes! It was horrible! Anyways, I got off the island of Borkum, this time taking a Katamaran, which is about twice as fast as the huge ferry I took to get there. Should’ve taken … More The Hanseatic League

Beach Day!

Well, it was an interesting day! Fun, though not quite a ton was done. It was certainly different. It started with a trip to the Nordsee (North Sea) Aquarium. A fairly small… a very, very small aquarium. Or at least it was going to start that way until I walked by the massive lighthouse again … More Beach Day!
