Some would say my plan to hitchhike to India hasn’t got off to a very good start, since I’ve managed to get all of two hours down the road to Dresden.  However there is method in my madness.  After doing a little research I discovered to my utter delight that we are not too far from …

I’m thanking my lucky stars that Katty has arrived to keep me company this weekend.  Since I was still in Germany, she has very kindly decided to come and visit from all the way over in the West, taking an 8 hour train to see me in my hour of need.  Well, hour of hating …

I didn’t want to bore you with an overly long entry yesterday, so I decided to tell you about last nights debacle today.  I arrived back at the hostel to discover a pretty girl in reception, and I casually inquire at the desk while unashamedly throwing my voice if there was somewhere good to go …

I went out last night, as you might come to expect, because apparently in Dresden the good nights are Friday, Saturday and Monday. I had wanted another night off, but the nice hostel lady has informed me that Mondays are the new black.  It would be rude not to go out. So I’m sitting in a popular …

I’m eating breakfast for the first time and staring into space at 8am in the morning.  This is the earliest I’ve been up for months, and in spite of being woken by two Israeli guys coming in at stupid o’clock, I feel pretty good.  The bags are packed, I’m ready to go, just not on …

I’m kicking about the hostel today with the express intention of not drinking tonight and not letting myself go out.  Instead I watch a multitude of childish idiots get on the sauce.  This must be what I look like when I’m on a bender, but most of these kids are hammered after a couple of …

I’ve called time on my Friday night early to save myself for tonight.  Berghain.  Probably the biggest club in the world, and certainly one of the most famous.  It’s a unusual mix of straight and hard core gay, with some of the worlds best DJ’s spinning here week in week out to stunning women and …

After taking it easy or going out last night (I can’t remember) we decide to leisurely wander to find a cinema and finally get to see The Dark Knight Rises.  It’s not been released in Germany until today, so I’ve been doing my best to avoid any spoilers floating around on the internet.  Its glorious German …

Let’s see, what did I do today?  Mmmm.  I’m doing my best to remember.  I’m sure it must have involved going out at some point but I’m not really sure.  I guess I should make a comment about this child filled hostel. It’s filled with children .

I’ve checked out today in search of pastures new, but not talking to anyone in a hostel for five days has taken it out of me.  I contemplate starting the hitchhike, but I feel I’m not really done with Berlin and it certainly isn’t done with me.  I search for and locate one of the biggest party …
