All I wanted was a nap after traveling for almost two days, but Professor Freeman advised against that. We drove from Gainesville to Miami Thursday morning, where our flight left around 4 p.m. We landed in Düsseldorf around 7 a.m. the next day, where we switched planes to arrive in Berlin around 9 a.m. Friday the 13th. Yes, I was a little apprehensive of arriving to a foreign country on a lucky day like Friday the 13th.
We waited for our bags for awhile, hoping that we weren’t going to be the ones to lose our bags on this trip. Luckily everything followed us from Miami and we were on our way to the hotel. It didn’t seem like we were in Berlin. The surroundings were green and almost resembled Florida, aside from everything being in German. We arrived at the hostel a few hours before check-in time so we explored a little. The neighborhood we are staying in, Prenzlauer Berg, is a quiet family-oriented neighborhood. Made up of old pre-war architecture and green parks, Prenzlauer Berg is known for bars, restaurants and tree lined roads.
