Busabout begins..

@ Berlin. This looked like a giant panadol- in the background is a mammoth governement building dubbed the washing machine..
Everything is "UBER" in Germany, including the architecture (as pictured above)- i thought this jumper and the accompanying jeans where just too funny to resist
Check point Charlie, Berlin. One of the more terrifying border crossings in its communist days..
Me at the Topography of Terrors, an art installation featured near some remaining Berlin wall.. it took over two hours to get through the audio tour and was very draining!
The gorgeous little island of Texel, off the coast of The Netherlands
latest Texel footware- if only there was more room in my backpack!!
Me bikeriding around Texel..
Greetings all!!

Sorry to vanish for so long, but the pace has definitely picked up since i last signed on!! Having almost a whole month to explore one country compared to one month to get around seven makes a big difference!! The photos are going to be all out of order so please excuse that, But basically backtracking to Greece.. i flew out of athens after a most enjoyable evening spent sleeping at the airport until my 8am flight. It was very excting to be back on the plane and heading off somewhere new! I arrived in Amsterdam sleep deprived but with a big irremovable grin on my face- It was such a relief to see some new languages and weather after so long- i actually had to change into my jeans! Anyhoo, so Amsterdam was lots of fun. Unfortunately I amaged to catch the flu I had in croatia AGAIN so i really wasnt feeling very upbeat but i soldiered on and still managed to have an amazing time. I met up with a girl Shannon on my first night and toured around with her, the hostel where i was staying was super crusty- walking through reception was the equivalent of smoking a joint it was so smoky in there and everyone had gross smokers coughs going the whole time, not to mention the SNORING in the girls dorms at night (i employed various spitball tactics to try and stop it, but that's another story! hehe!) Saw the redlight district, vincent van gogh museum, various "cafes" .. then i went for a bit of R&R at the adorable c island of Texel, jsut off the coast of the Netherlands. Here i checked myself into a luxurious hotel so i could have some much needed privacy, do some washing, spread my stuff everywhere and basically not have to worry about 20 other strangers bodily functions for a couple of days!! BLISS! the dutch people are soooo lovely, basically i hired a bike rode about the island, ate lots of good dutch food and chilled out! then back to amsterdam for the night before starting busabout loop the next day, first stop Berlin! I will quickly publish this entry should something go wrong and i loose it, then i will update you on Berlin.. stay tuned!
