Berlin

[Punkstig]

So,
I went to Berlin with 8 other mates for a stag do this weekend and all I can say is 'amazing'
What a fantastic city, with very friendly people, not many English there (which was nice tbh!)
Prices were similar/ slightly cheaper to England for food and drinks,
And the women- holy moly cow, stunning, just absolutely stunning women


If you have an opportunity then go there, you will not be disappointed!

Sorry, didn't take pics of the women, mainly the stag- in women's clothes (which is not stunning in any conceivable way!)

I first went to Berlin for the 2006 World Cup with my then girlfriend. We fell in love with the place and ha e since returned 7 or 8 times, and another few visits to various places in Germany. I spent my 30th birthday there, watched the Spain v Holland game in the teirgarten and proposed to my now Fiancee I front of the Brandenburg Gate. We go at least once a year now. Easy to get to, nice weather, lovely people and food and the BMW mottoradd factory is well with a visit. If you have never been, it is a wonderful destinnaltion. Nice ride there too

There was a bomb scare at the gate when we did the beercycle tour (which is awesome) and it was all cordoned off so couldn't get too close to it!  :\

I'm hoping to go to Berlin in August on the bike with the wife, so not too much ogling the women unless I'm careful  :lol

Punkstig, that sounds like a good reason to go back then

never done the beer tour as I have always been with my good lady. At this stage we would be doing it to have a go on the odd bike rather than the tour.
The car mall is worth a visit. Just  remember to take your credit card if you want to buy a Bugatti or roller. We took in a Hertha v Dortmund game at the Olympistad once too,  best stadium I have ever been in, and I have been in a few. The museums are great too, try the jewish one. Sony centre too... I could go on all day. I foccin love Berlin!!!

Well obviously as this was a stag weekend it was more about drinking than seeing the sights, but for those that don't know the beer tour is a big vehicle the size of a big 4x4  along the sides are 4 bike saddles with pedals and a direct drive train to the rear axle so 8 people pedal power the vehicle, (there was a bigger one for about 16 people, there was 9 on ours!),one of the tour operators steers the vehicle and there's a beer pump in the middle, so drink as you cycle.
There's also a stereo system which you can hook your iPod up to, we were listening (and badly singing) to lots of queen, stones, and AC/DC!



It was fuckin knackering, my legs still ache but I'm not a fitness kind of guy!
