| arriving at Berlin train station |
Fancy arriving at one of the top hotel chains in the world to find that there is absolutely no power! Ha! We are staying at the Hilton Hotel in Berlin which is located amongst upper-class shops, restaurants and cafes. But, since there was not much to do in the dark we decided to head out and explore. We visited the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag (House of Parliament) and took a stroll through the parklands until the rain came!
We were hoping the hotel would have power back but unfortunately not, so we went and did some washing and headed out to a lovely Italian Restaurant for dinner (Lamama, BEST bruschetta ever!). After dinner we headed back to the hotel for what we thought was going to be just a quick, quiet drink.
Turns out, this week in Berlin there is a fashion fair on, so there are thousands of models, buyers, and designers floating around the hotels and our hotel is hosting the whole of G-Star. Needless to say the lobby and the bar was packed which made for a good “people watching” game.. until the DJ started and we got talking to a group of rich young buyers from England who proceeded to keep us drinking until about 1am in the morning! Who can turn down a free drink from a guy who has millions ($$) and wants to give you advice on how to get rich?! Not us! Lol.
It was definitely an interesting night watching the rich and famous all mixing it together in their designer clothes getting absolutely smashed! So for the night we mixed in with them, or at least we tried to.. I’m sure they can spot us ‘plebs’ a mile away wearing our wrinkled clothes that have been lugged around in backpacks through five countries in five weeks.
Oh well we had our fun!
Over and out!
