We’ve made it to Copenhagen.
Like the city and its vibe quite a bit but its damn expensive. Seriously.
Berlin was a very bizarre city. I really have no idea how to quantify it or my experience there. I really don’t. We happened to stay in a vegan neighbourhood which was awesome! That was a total fluke as well. Glad we stayed in that part of town, it happened to be the best part, super artsy, lively and kid friendly. At first it was intimidating, the characters there are bizarre and it looked like we were in gangland with all the spray paint. After a day, you realize it’s harmless. Overall, I can’t see myself ever returning to Berlin. It was not a favorite.
I had the unfortunate experience of watching a man die. It was really messed up. We were walking to our segway tour and a man was on the ground with a worker outfit getting CPR, his legs were twitching and stopped and they seemed to give up on the CPR with shrugs and looks of hopelessness. Very eery. The thing I remember most is all of the bystanders faces. Just blank. I don’t know what happened but I’d guess maybe electrocution or heart attack.
We toured the Berlin wall, saw the holocaust memorial museum which was the most impactful of its genre. I’ve been to a concentration camp and other sites but this one was next level with its presentations of individual cases/experiences. Very impactful. Highly recommended everyone sees that some day. What an atrocity.
We drove and ferried from Berlin to Copenhagen and arrived in good time.
More to come
