Rome - The First Time and Berlin

We left Innsbruck and jumped on another sleeper to Rome (we aren't real big fans of the sleeper), once we got to Rome the first thing we realised was that it wasn't easy to navigate and battling with the traffic was like playing frogger.

Once we had finally found the hotel we took off to check out the colosseum before it started to rain, by the time we had finished the tour it was well and truely raining and every Indian in Rome was out selling umbrellas.

The next day it was still pouring down rain. That morning We watched a car literally bump the car in front and behind to fit into the car park. We learnt this was ok in Rome and that leaving your hand break off was common practice so this could occur. We decided to catch a tour bus to have a look around so we were warm and dry, so we got see or the Rome sights, Trevi, Pantheon etc... By the afternoon it had cleared up and turned out to be a really nice day.

That night we caught another sleeper to Berlin we arrived mid afternoon and it was snowing!!! And might I add bloody cold!!! Josche ran outside so he could stand in the snow while it was snowing and after that we found our way to our hostel.
We were roomed with 2 other aussies which was quite funny one was very talkative and snored but we survived. :-)

We checked out the history museum, Checkpoint Charlie and whats left of the Berlin wall. It was an interesting time to be in Berlin as it was approaching 20 years since the wall came down so the city was ramping up for celebrations.
