Today I add one more country's capital to the list I've been to on the trip. Berlin is my final destination today. Amanda dropped me off at the station in Aachen at 11:30 in time for me to catch my train that left shortly after that. I switched trains in Koln (Cologne) and then boarded my next train to Berlin. There appear to be many problems with the train lines as we have been sitting in the Hamm station for almost a 1/2 hr.
After being over an hour late, we finally made it to Berlin. I walked across the street to my hotel. Motel 1 (the name is misleading for Americans).. I was skeptical, but for $70 a night, I figured I could deal.. It's the nicest hotel I've stayed in so far! So I'm happy camper. I grabbed my very German dinner at Burger King. A hamburger.. ;) and then caught the metro down to the Brandenburg Gate. I got there right at sunset. It is absolutely beautiful lit up!
I headed back to the hotel as it had been a ridiculously long day of travel and I was exhausted. I had a great plans for the next day and so I set off to get some rest for that.
