Berlin, the city that never sleeps

Berlin, the city that masters perfection, I fell in love with it.

I never expected to experience the beauty of every single spot that I looked at. I might exaggerate, but I really saw beauty.

Our hotel was located in the nice area Friedrichstraße. We arrived there earlier than expected due to the punctuality of Norwegian air (sarcastically the trip was estimated to be one and a half hours, but we were at the airport half an hour earlier).

Hotel Melia is a 4 stars hotel which we got for the price of 3 star hotels since we booked before Easter. It is highly recommended :-)

I have to admit that travelling with my best German friend Per made things awesome. We travelled to Barcelona last year and I didn’t have to worry about any maps to follow due to my lack of sense of directions. In Berlin things were the same, a German perfectionist leading a messy Lebanese. He was well prepared with plan to achieve, i.e. to show me around.

Every single place or monument we visited left the impression. The TV tower, the cathedral, the parliament (Reichstag), Sony center, Madame Tussauds and many more, made our cameras work hard. Perhaps one of the touchiest places was the Jewish museum and the Holocaust monument that made me think of the cruelty that attacked the peaceful humanity and still acting wild in our days.

Night life was fabulous, we enjoyed every single evening, we met folks from Finland and Spain. Turkka, the Finnish dude, suggested that we head to the biggest discotheque in Europe, there we waited and waited in what I called a UN cue. Hundreds of people from different nationalities have heard about that famous place that opens at 6pm and closes around noon day after…I have to say that we gave up in the end, took a taxi disappeared.

There is much to talk about, but I highly recommend Berlin and I will definitely go back again
