almost in Berlin

ticket to ride

Made it as far as Frankfurt's main railway station - a short trip from the airport. My Frankfurtian friend, Luca, described his home-town as ugly and industrial. While my own experience has been limited to the airport and main railway station (so probably a little biased) - maybe he has a point? On the other hand, the plane flew in close to some pretty widespread forestland - and the train from the airport to main station took us through similar-looking terrain…

Apparently it's 12ºC here, but it feels warmer than I expected it to. Maybe that's because I'm lugging around half my body-weight in baggage? Will see if I can lighten the load soon.


Was fed and watered during the flight, feeling ok. It's about 4pm in the arvo here, and I feel like I've got 4 o'clock-itis - so I think I'll be ok with jet-lag ;)



Edit: have now arrived in Berlin. Staying in right in the centre (Mitte). Will try and find somewhere more exciting to reside in the next few days. Finding a second-hand pushbike seems like a good idea too.
