he square came to life with music and fire dancers.Truly amazing how the Germans have rebuilt and recreated their towns and cities! So hard to imagine the devastation that was there at the end of the war.
The question “Is it a life experience?” has launched us into some amazing cultural exchanges such as volunteering in Tanzania, floating in a canoe down the Amazon, snorkeling in Alaska and walking among the wonderful creatures on the Galapagos Islands.

Hildesheim
Fantastic evening in the old city square. Started off in the hot sun, sudden flurry of wind and rain and then as night fell the square came to life with music and fire dancers.

Hannover
Had a fab time in Hannover. Tanja and Kai stayed with us in the B & B in 2005. Kai was doing his Phd for a year at the Hydraulics Lab at Manly Dam. We really enjoyed their company. They came back to visit us in 2007 and we finally made it to visit them in 2011!Since their visit Hannah Leja has arrived and what a bundle of fun she is. We had such a great time with them, walking through Hannover, yummy meals and of course we got to meet their family.

Go Berlin!
Such an amazing city.. art works, jazz, bars...stunning memorials, rap dancers and of course BEER! Loved the beer cycles. Not sure how some people would have coped after a few of those VERY large beers!Walking the Wall
Did an incredible 4hr walk around Berlin with a great guide. Really brought the whole place alive.......so different to hearing about it on the news. Incomprehensible really... especially when you stand astride the path that was the wall that separated families.
Remember you can click on pictures to see them more clearly.

Flying bed.
Oh ho ho! Found this amazing hotel...About 37 rooms all with a different theme. We nearly booked the upside down room but ended up in the Flying Bed room!Loved it... Great people. Breakfast in the 'rainforest' was fantastic. Gave everone the once over and tried to work out which room they had chosen!
Check it out. We had number 11. Wonder which one you would choose!
Reichstag moments
Had no idea how wonderful this building was. Incredible to walk up the sides of the building seeing the views outside and the incredible reflected images inside. Did I say that I LOVE Berlin!Berlin
Loved the quirkiness and artworks of Berlin. Strange juxtoposition of communist and capitalist have led to an individualism... really LOVE this city.Walked into an artists commune, full of graffiti, stoned people, beautiful architecture reduced to paint and pee!
