Berlin | Part Two.

24 Jan 2015

Part Two of mine and Katie's sister trip to Berlin began with the Berlin Wall Memorial. It was a fascinating spot and really showed the true horror that the wall created in Berlin. It may be strange to say, but all this time I don't think I really appreciated how recent this actually was. The wall fell on November...

Last week Katie and I went on a Black-Friday fuelled holiday to Berlin, and it was wonderful. The weather was SO cold and rainy on our first day but we still made the most of it.

Its laughable how "old" I thought 28 was. Now, I'm pushing the idea of settling down with kids to my mid-30's! But, little Aimee did have one thing right - by the time I turn I turn...
