Germany - Berlin & Dresden

Now jumping back to the middle of my trip. More photo heavy than my usual posts.

I didn't originally plan on visiting Germany again since I had spent quite a bit of time on my 2013 trip. However, my travelling partner wanted to visit and I was open to the idea. Germany is one of my favourite countries and I'm not really sure why. I think it may a combination of the way that life works (efficiency), the people and the culture.

Last time I visited there was snow everywhere. This time no snow but just dreary weather.

Reichstag Building - German Parliament

I also wanted to visit/ trespass into Spreepark as my one and only chance before it got knocked down. However a few months before I left Sydney, a fire destroyed quite a lot of the buildings/ rides which was disappointing. In the end, I didn't go.

One of the highlights in Berlin was finding a place that developed BW film for not only a reasonable price but also within 5 hours. That is insane! So happy that I found the place (although I still need to buy a negative scanner). A close second favourite was eating at Yarok and trying Syrian food for the first time. I just love how multicultural Berlin is.

Next stop (for a day) was Dresden! This was a super cute city and it was also where I discovered that Lift (soft drink) comes in other flavours apart from lemon! At Maccas I tried the Apple lift and I also had chicken wings... I also invariably (and regrettably) ended up at Maccas almost every Sunday throughout my trip since everything was closed.
