The East Side Gallery, in my eyes was one of the most iconic aspects of Berlin. The amount of history and character that this one tourist attraction holds was definitely a highlight of my Deutschland experience.

It never fails to astonish me where you can find a Kombi…shortly after arriving in Germany having journeyed a long 31hours including planes and trains, high expectations and a little uneasiness started to kick in…But finding a bright orange VW Kombi Van on the main street of my city Remagen made me feel right at home!!!

Carnival in Germany begins on November 11th at 11:11 a.m. But it’s not what you think…. It’s where everybody and anybody gets dressed up in the wildest costumes imaginable and heads out to the street for a tonne of fun! The “crazy days” of Carnival are celebrated with parties on the streets, in public squares and in pubs. Closing times for all pubs and bars are suspended for the duration of the festival!!!
