Berlin Calling

So it has been a couple of days since we have been travelling and already I have seen so much!

- Belgium: Brussels and Antwerp
- The Netherlands: Amsterdam
- Germany: Hamburg and Berlin

The two lovely ladies I am travelling around with are Rosie and Lily. It is so great to have them here and we are having a lot of fun giggling our way around the globe.

Our favourite city so far is Amsterdam. Amsterdam is wonderful! The canals and old buildings are amazing! Especially at night! We also loved the Anne Frank Museum - which was so moving. Her father was such a strong man to continue after he had lost his wife and daughters and his passion is to work towards a world without prejudice or war. This museum was fantastic! Top tip: buy tickets online to avoid queues!

Van Gogh's Museum was inspiring! It was really well done and all three of us thoroughly enjoyed it.

Some parts of Amsterdam are quite shocking like the Red Light District. We were staying in an awesome Christian Hostel very close to it. The hostel was fantastic! The Red Light District just made me very sad.

Amsterdam also had amaying cafe's all over the place - really funky! So good!

At the moment we are in Berlin. Such an cool city! We will do the Free Walking Tour today and hopefully learn a lot about the history of the city.

Looking forward to a good day!
