Eastern Europe Travelogue Day 11: Berlin, Germany



After a wonderful day at Dresden, we continued on to Berlin! ;)
Not many photos cause I got lazy towards the end of the trip....

Always wanted to visit Berlin because its such a historically iconic city!
and the architecture in Berlin is more modern, completely different from the last 32420398 towns we went to..

Fascinated by the Berlin Wall


Remnants of the wall




Checkpoint Charlie. Sneak photo! We would have to pay to take photo with them 

Cutesy souvenir shop with small pieces of the wall, wonder if they are real!


Love this slogan :)



MEGA CUTE CAR

The Brandenburg Gate if i'm not wrong. which was closed due to renovations :( we ended up getting starbucks haha




Went into a shopping mall to taste the best coffee? (As recommended by the tour guide) But dad said it was soso






Zee coffee. 
And i went around taking photos of food.



GERMANY IS THE HOME OF RITTERSPORT!! but i didnt go in :( should have bought more!!



Cute Traffic man. 

And more of the berlin wall!







Towards the evening it started pouring... really heavily!! couldn't take really good photos of this magnificent structure, the victory column :/

Then we went to .. some restaurant out of the city area for dinner! which was my favourite....


PORK KNUCKLE!!!! It was soooooo humongous and sooooo good yumzzzz 

And then the next day we had some shopping time in berlin!
obviously not many photos cos we were busy shopping..... 





The shopping street!

Well after some shopping at Berlin we headed to Leipzig, which was just a really small town for our transit stopover to frankfurt. Spent a good 1.5 days travelling back to frankfurt to get to the airport :( and I was too lazy to take photos hee.

Absolutely loved Eastern Europe and hope to explore the countries in greater depth in future :) backpacking trip maybe?

Eastern Europe Travelogue Day 10: Dresden, Saxony

2nd last post of the Europe travelogue! :)

Finally at Day 10 haha. We left Krakow to head to Dresden, a city back in Germany! :) It was a terribly LONG bus journey haha.




Clear blue skies along the road. I reallyyyy love countrysides. The endless sky. You hardly see such patches of skies in Singapore due to all the high rises ;( and thankfully the skies remained clear (quite sunny in fact)

Welcome to Dresden :)

Had a city tour as usual, and the city was GORGEOUS. the weather played a role i guess. haha. shall let photos do the talking as usual.





The Zwinger Palace. Beautiful baroque architecture




LUSH GREEN GRASS



Postcard worthy :)




The palace was just too beautiful!!



Blue Blue sky


I really love their architecture. so different from Singapore's!

Stopped at a cake shop for tea! Really, a cake a day in europe is the norm.




One thing i must comment is that the people there were kinda rude? maybe cos we were asians :( like they didn't want to serve us and all.

some chocolate icecream thing



Their cakes were just.. cream! not much flour at all haha. 





Lovely weather :)




Then we headed somewhere else for dinner...

The uncles having fun with the pseudo tray




My dinner hehh
