Bye to Prague, Hello to Berlin

Tml morning we will be leaving Prague to take the train that will bring us to Berlin!! I've already marked out the places that I want to visit and also the eateries that we can try.

The sights are concentrated in mostly one area and I dun really want to go to the museums but some of the places are worth a visit. I guess. And I want to go to AT LEAST 1 Beergarden... If I can find vacuum-packed sausages I think I will buy back to Singapore too. I am also starting to realise that I have not bought any souvenirs... The things that I keep thinking of buying are the foodstuffs. Not one souvenir for myself even. Then again, why would I want magnets and picture postcardsof the places that I have visited?? Hmm...

Halfway through my trip in Europe and my dark eye rings are gone even though I have been sleeping less. Amazing eh?? Hehe!!

Things I have bought so far:
- 2 tops from Zara (Barcelona)
- 1 top and 1 belt from Bershka (Barcelona)
- 1 faux leather cap from Terrazona (Prague)
- 1 red ear-muffs from street-side stall (Prague)
- 1 face moisturiser from Sephora (Prague)
- 2 lace display cloths from Old Town Hall Market (Prague)

Other things I intend to buy to bring home:
- Sausages from Berlin
- Cookies from Harrods
- Thai Sweet Chili chips from London
- Haribo sweets

I have taken many pictures so far, even of the foods that I have eaten. It is indeed a great Great GREAT miracle that I am still able to fit into my jeans. After Berlin, I won't be doing anymore laundry.. Hehe!! Poor mama will then have to deal with all the dirty clothes when I get back.

Till the next time I have free time to blog on free internet. =)

P.S: Adam almost got pick-pocketed in Barcelona. That's why I dun like Barcelona. I keep having to look over my back when I walk on the streets even before that incident. Prague is so much better. The people here are really less sleazy and "oily". I love Prague.

Message to self from Barcelona

I am blogging from the common room at the HelloBCN hostel in Barcelona!! We covered a lot of ground yesterday and today. We have visited Port Vell adn walked up La Rambla to see the Plaza de Catalunya. Saw Picasso Museum (from the outside), Sagrada Famillia, Le Pedrera and also the Santa Maria cathedral.

As usual, ate a lot of food today also. =) I am glad, coz I dun mind spending on food when overseas. We also revisted the Giant Zara and H&M tt we walked past yesterday.

But I think my stamina is not there. My lower back aches so much from all the walking and the standing around!! To tell you the truth, Barcelona is not as fantastic as I thought it to be. Maybe coz all the things that are must-see are not consolidated so I haven't seen everything yet. Tml we are going to Parc Guiell (is the spelling right? I dun noe...) and I know we will see more of Gaudi´s work tml. Looking forward to it. =)
