Marx never saw them coming...
So, Berlin. Really big and cold. I liked Berlin. After leaving Copenhagen we spent a night in the Danish countryside with Pete and Jo, before getting the ferry to Rostock. We rocked up to Berlin in early in the day and parked near Kopi. Catherine lives at the far end of the street from there, so that was sweet. Her place was cool and we were staying there mostly, and some nights in the van. We got to do lots of cool things while there.
When we arrived it was -15 at night and was super grateful for the big fire in the flat. It was a big enclosed fireplace, so although there was a big fire, you did’t actually see it, which i thought was a bit strange. It was nice to spend some time with Catherine and go see some of the local places and things and meet people. I also learned a few cool things, such as how to make peanut butter soup. On a food related note, there are also some very cool vegan places to eat, and peoples kitchens every night of the week. We were also treated to an excellent tour looking at the gentrification of the friedrichshain area, as well as about the squatting movement in the area.
i’ve got some photos, so tune back soon for more updates, and some pictures too…
