This is a photolog. For a view of all photos I took while in Berlin, please check this set on flickr: Berlin 2015 I also kept two foursquare lists of places I wanted to visit and places I wanted to check out for food and drinks: feel free to use these, I will not delete them! Would you rather have all of these places in a Google Map? Can do!

With my macbook away for repair, it’s taken me almost a week to start work on all the photos I took during my week vacation in Berlin. Finally I seem to getting somewhere. On Wednesday April 29, I visisted the Botanical Gardens in Berlin-Dahlem. What a wonderful and amazing collection of plants! If you ever find yourself in Berlin with time to see more than just the tourist highlights, I recommend a visit to these Botanical Gardens: they are just splendid!

Decision made: this year, I will visit Berlin again. Two years ago, this city made a lasting impression on me and as there is always loads more to see, I wanted to return. Earlier this week, my friend Fem asked me when I was planning to visit Berlin because she would be going there shortly too. After checking my work calendar, I booked a train ticket, found an appartment and I’ll be meeting up with Fem in Berlin!

From June 22 until June 30 I was in Berlin, Germany. Beforehand I had created a list of all the places I wanted to visit in a Google Excel doc: I managed to tick most of these items, but as the week progressed I found I wanted to check out other places as well. To help me, I kept a Google Map up to date: Whether I was walking around or travelling on the U-bahn/S-bahn, I was able to check my position on my phone using this map: quite handy!
