Berlin: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Berlin was a 36-hour whirlwind trip, squeezed into our itineraries at the very last minute after much guilt-tripping by NXX. Cheap flights from London and free accommodation never hurt anyone anyway.

The Good:

Catching up with one of my favourite people in the world… Even if I did initially choose Krakow and Prague over visiting her in Berlin. :$

Actually, what was made Berlin even better was the presence of both of my favourite people! :) Both of whom I don’t get to physically be with for the larger part of the year. :(

And watching them continually bicker…

And bicker…

And bicker… for 36 hours… entertainment value 10/10.

The Bad:

NXX warned us that Berlin would be cold, but I don’t think anything could have prepared us for how positively FRIGID the place was:

The sub-zero temperatures pierced through my layersss of down AND cashmere AND wool, and we were caught in heavy snow 3 times in 36 hours. Kids, snow really isn’t as light and fluffy and fun as the Christmas carols make it out to be… IT IS EVIL.

The Ugly:

berlin xx the big bully

Aforementioned favourite person is (unfortunately for me) also a BIG FAT BULLY.
