Berlin-go

Today I bought a bike. Wow great news you might think, now he totally lost his mind. No! I thought this one through. The good weather today of course had a great impact on my decision. So I woke up this morning and took the S2 + U5 to Samariter Street in Friedrichshein (http://www.bikeparkberlin.de) where I heard is a bike shop selling used bikes for 39€. There were many bikes unfortunately no bike cost 39€. The cheapest I saw was about 70€ and it crossed my mind that maybe some soldiers in WW1 used it to deliver some kind of mail – yes horribly old – this bike wasn’t “used” it was already dead for years. This is why I spend a little more but my new bike (with chain, air-pump and lamps) can be cycled.

So I just arrived back at home from my first half-day bike tour from Friedrichshain to Charlottenburg with many detours and a few breaks on benches in the sun. What a great day today! Only problem is: My tushie hurts

In order to celebrate my bachelor degree and the great new flat we did a snowboarding trip to Grindelwald / Wengen / Swizerland this weekend. This place is heaven. On Saturday the snow was great and the sun burned its way into my K2-helmet. This was the best trip ever. On the second day we had heavy snowfall and something about 60cm new, fresh and untouched surface. What a ride. Unfortunately our car got stuck the way up so we had to drive back and took the train and Zahnradbahn from the next railway station.

We stayed in a big loft-like appartement thirty minutes away from the bright-white paradise by car. A marvellous choice near a big lake with an impressive view on the snowy mountain-tops. Dear Swizerland I will see you same time next year!
