Got up at around 8am today, which was a nice change from going to bed at this time the last few days. I went down for breakfast at the hotel lobby and then headed onto the coach to go into town for a guided walking tour as one of the optionals for this tour. The tour guide was British and he was extremely funny. I was a bit skeptical about doing this tour initially but I am glad I did it. We went around to the main sights of Berlin which was nice seeing as some of the things we went to I had yet to see. We stopped at a cafe mid way through and I got myself an apple strudel which was very delicious, it was quite heavy though as in the weight cause when I picked it up it was like a brick. The tour finished at checkpoint Charlie, after the tour I went off with Violet and Yana and we did a bit of souvenir shopping and then headed to the church. They both went into the church but I didn't so I just went off to Alexander Platz to just chill there.
I went back to the Vietnamese/Japanese restaurant for the last time and got myself a pho and sushi fix. After lunch I went to an electrical store and bought myself a new compact camera that I can bring out on nights out seeing as I broke my shockproof and waterproof camera somehow when I was drunk. The camera was about €79 which isn't too bad, it's a Samsung camera. After I got my camera I went to get some gelato (obviously) and then made my way to the meeting point for the coach pick to go back to the hotel to get ready for tonight. There was an optional eye spy tour of the berlin nightlife which is essentially a pub crawl but I decided to give that a miss as I have heard mixed reviews about it. Instead a few of us decided to get some drinks from the liquor store and just drink in the hotel room and have a party there.
Me and Allison got a bottle of vodka to share and Violet got a bottle of Jack Daniels. After we got back to the hotel I decided to have a nap and catch up on some sleep as I know these next 12 days sleep will be very scarce. I woke up from my nap and quickly got ready as I had already overslept and then headed over to Violets room for some drinks. Ally was already in there so I needed to catch up and make myself a drink. We listened to some music and just chatted for a bit before trying to find the others. Violet and I were trying to find Eddie and Yana's (brother and sister duo from the states) room so we knocked on a door we thought was there's and kind of ran away. As we were running away half my drink spilt on me cause we heard someone coming towards us. Turns out it was Ben, we told him to get Chelle and join us for some drinks (Ben and Chelle- couple from Brisbane, Australia). The door we knocked on did turn out to be Eddie and Yana's room and we told them to come to Vi's room as well.
We had some more drinks in Vi's room and then decided to head out at around 11pm. We caught the metro into Alexander Platz and decided to go to this bar near there for some drinks before going out to meet up with everyone that did the eye spy tour at the club they were finishing at around midnight. Ben, Chelle, Ally, Vi, Yana, Eddie and I got to Alexander Platz and the first place that I saw that sold curry wurst I ran to it like lightning. I hadn't eaten yet and I was starving and I down that curry wurst so fast. The others got kebabs and pizza. Eddie couldn't finish his kebab so he puts half of it in his pocket and decides to save it for later when he is at the club, haha. We headed to that bar in Alexander Platz for some drinks, the rest of the night becomes a little hazy but here is a recount as per usual.
-The mad scientist man guarding the toilets at the bar in Alexander Platz
-Shots at the bar in Alexander Platz (too. many. shots.)
-Me getting given the task of being the navigator as everyone else was too drunk, you know you have a problem when everyone else is drunker then I am, and I suddenly become the navigator
-Getting to the extremely hot club, it was pretty packed considering it was a Monday night
-More shots
-Drunken close ups of peoples faces
-Slut dropping on the podium (typical)
-Turkish cab driver who was going very slowly, Vi kept talking to him but I'm pretty sure no one could understand what he was saying
-Cab selfies
Until next time sexy people,
