Our first afternoon in Berlin started with a ‘Warm Welcome.’ Apparently, public transport works a little differently here than in the Netherlands. As we forgot to stamp our train tickets, my son and I were fined 60 euros each. There is no exemption; “Rules are rules,” they said.

Anyhow, we took our loss and moved on. We had a great first afternoon in the city; we visited some prominent landmarks and drank along the river.

Berlin Citytrip

I’m going on a city trip to Berlin tomorrow with my 17-year-old son. It will be our first visit to Berlin, and we look forward to it. I’ll use this Berlin tag to capture our city adventures during the next 2,5 days.

I have saved my research of possible things to do in Berlin on this bookmark list. I’m open to tips from those who have been to Berlin before, so do let me know if you have any.

52 Weeks – Week 31

I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I will add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.

Week 31/52: Mick Jagger – Strange Game

After 52 weeks, I will have recorded all the seasons, holidays, and high and low weeks of the year (from October 2024 to September 2025) in one self-curated playlist on Apple Music. Don’t use Apple Music? Subscribe to weekly updates via RSS.
