The United Buddy Bears are currently on Kurfrstendamm.

I wish there was more I could be doing right now. I honestly do want to go out and explore the new base but it’s so humid and hot, really not appealing weather to want to be walking around in.

We have a new posting address now so once Oni gets back from in processing we can set up our new bank accounts. Big good luck for him too today as he is taking his driving test for his European license!

I’m going to go and practise my German!

Due to amazon.de shipping errors, people in Germany already have copies of A Dance With Dragons, The fifth installment in George R. R. Martin’s fantasy saga A Song of Ice and Fire. So fuck you Germans, give me my book or give me my spoilers.

I love these green waters at the Schloss Charlottenburg.

Dinner at Marjellchen in Berlin. I ordered the Masurian Jugged Game of stag and wild-boar, with bacon and forest mushrooms, which came with a side of potato dumplings, stewed cabbage and cranberries. The owner is a gregarious woman and wonderfully hospitable, and overall, this restaurant has absolutely excellent service and incredibly delicious food.

I love the idea of them going together to the Venetian Carnevale!

What’s the wurst that could happen?

Celebrate the Summer Solstice and the start of a Long, Hot Summer with thisscene from East Germany’s original communist beach musical.  You really need to stick around until the haystack scene.

Munich (by estelle3875)

From Kצln we drove down through Koblenz, but unfortunately there was a massive gardening festival on and there was no where to park so we couldn’t stop. We drove down through the Moselle Valley and stopped in Cochem for the night. Here, we wandered amongst the cobblestone streets and over the old city wall before heading up to the Pinnerkreuz which provides an incredible view over Cochem and much of the valley. The following day we headed up to the Reichsburg - an old castle that was built in 1100.

1kg of cherries for €5!

Do not swing… Didn’t really plan on it.

Being a tourist with a duck fountain - mostly for Dane.

…has been: job applications, red wine, Settlers of Catan, deep annoyance with a certain someone and then deep appreciation for a different certain someone, the English Garden, soup making, North Korea obsessions, Postcrossing, tea, babies, vacuuming, new shoes, goodbyes, walks, Mozart, and hats.

It feels a bit strange to look at all the things we did just so recently and how distant it feels.

-a lot. 

-some more.

-“wait, they serve alcoholic cider here? kellnerin!”

BABY DON’T HURT ME

DON’T HURT ME

NO MORE

Oh god Germany’s face
