my first sight seeing moment

So with my first go at using the transport system of was when I went into the city of Berlin, I first got my montly transport pass socthat I dont have to keep paying to go on the transport when I go anywhere unless I have too , So I got on the M1 tram to the s and u bahn stagion, to get onto the s bahn, that would take me straight to the Brandenburger Tor, it wasnt so hard to find once I got off, I was going to find a good tour to go with, but decided to wander around myself, I walked towards the Reichstag building, look at several different memorials that were placed arounf the Tiergarten, then I walked alomg to Potsdamer Platz, up to were so, e of the berlin wall is still standing, looked around the Topographie of Terrors , last I headed to Checkpoint Charlie, before heading back to the train station It was great walking around some of the city, look at the many different sites around the city I shall try and put some pictures up :)

Marina and Rosa were both there to greet me when I arrived wh7ch was just great was happy about that, we caught a taxi back to their apartment which is just sooo nice then I was shown my room had some dinner and chatted for a bit before heading to bed and updating facebook I had slept in a bit the next day, I went for a bit of a walk and exploring moment as well as getting myself a sim card, later that day I spent some time with Rosa, the next day I had my first shopping experimce that was good, im now able to do this by myself, already have my bank account sorted Im registered with the local authorities in the area of Berlin that I am in called Pankow Im now a pro at tue transoort system after using it only once to head into Berlin for a day, In the next post I will go over some of the sightseeing :) I have even already meet another au pair which was great I am loving guten abend and guten morgen tea as well as spring tea, lieber wrüst, pretzels so far that is all :) .... more updates soon
