Day 21: Drive to Berlin

We let ourselves sleep until 10:00 today, then drove to Berlin. It was nice to get back into one of the EU countries, as we realized (after our run-in with the police in Bratislava) that we were driving around Eastern Europe illegally. Whoops!

The drive to Berlin took the entire day, pretty much. When we got to the hotel, we checked in, then figured out what Metro stop we needed to get on our "hop on/hop off" bus tour of the city tomorrow. We decided to spend the evening doing a "practice run" to the stop we need for tomorrow, have dinner somewhere around there, then come back for the night.

Unfortunately, it took us about two hours to get from our hotel to the correct stop. We did take the wrong train at one point (we had to switch around among 3 different ones), but that only delayed us about 15 minutes. So it was quite a journey -- basically starting from the far Eastern side of the city to the mid-Western side. So by the time we got back to the hotel, it was around midnight.

That's about all to report for today; really it was just a travel day. Tomorrow I should be able to post about our tour of Berlin.
