We woke up again early in the morning to catch our short flight from Brussels to Berlin!
Our early morning one-hour Easy Jet flight from Brussels to Berlin!
After short stays in Amsterdam and Brussels, Annalisa and I are now slowing down in Berlin for the next four days.
Train to Berlin
Note: Like Brussels, Berlin in a primarily CASH city, which means most establishments don’t accept credit cards as payment.
First Views of the City
We are staying near Alexanderplatz on the East side of the city. It is in a very great location for young tourists and these are just a few of the sights we passed on our way to our hostel.

The Famous Walking Sign of Berlin! AKA Ampelmannchen

City Stay Hostel
Annalisa found the City Stay Hostel on HostelWorld. So far, every hostel we booked from that website was very good and clean! People who leave reviews are fairly accurate and like our previous hostels, this one was a mixed dorm accommodation, which means men and women share a room. I thought it might be awkward, but honestly from my brief experience traveling, it just reinforced the stereotype that men snore and are more smelly that women.
We brought locks with us for the lockers provided, yet I am always surprised at the level of trust travelers have with their roommates. I would always lock everything up for your own protection, but so far, not everyone feels the same. Once we secured our belongings, Annalisa and I went out to explore the city!
