Deutschland we are here

As the pilot begins his decent into Frankfurt Germany we have a sinking feeling in our stomachs, were landing in Frankfurt Han, not Frankfurt the largest airport in Germany. How could we have made that mistake? No matter we are on an adventure. lets rewind a 15 hours.

Miserable in Morocco was where we left last time. after returning to our hotel with purchased tickets fresh in our mind we were able to read up on our new destination. The first line of the book reads "Only budget airlines like Ryanair would say that Frankfurt has two airports, Han 70 km north of the city" anyway.....

were elated none the less to be leaving Morocco and to be honest the rest of the day was amazing. Coffee and ice cream, some sun and reading. we had the most pleasent afternoon, and the cheapest since we left. as the sun set the crowds returned and we had a delightfult dinner, followed by a glass of orange juice (thez dont sell beer or liqour anywhere in morocco) and a cab ride to the airport. after setting up shop for the night josh pulled out his hammock and i made a nice little bed with our bags we slept quite well.

8am: grab our flight, meet some german girls who we thought we could get some insider info about germany and potentially a ride to berlin, that plan crashed and burned.

2pm: the first foot steps on german soil were...really really cold...we were not aware its cold here. Shorts and flip flops did not work, but after a quick outfit change we were ready to go, bus to frankfurt, the real one and a fast walk around to find a place to sleep we were set.

8pm: bring on the Americans, So for more than a month now we have been travelling. 5 countries and 15,000 miles and countless nights and days on the road. Total American count < 5. Europe is filled with americans, and it was a bit of a shock, josh believes that that the only drawback to Germany is all the americans, I reminded him we ARE also americans. with that behind us we plan to go to berlin.

100 Euro !!!, and thats for the train. new plan. we meet a guy from virginia and use our international drivers lisence and grab a rental car and head for the Autobaun, which as it turns out is the entire highway system not just one road, and its true there are no speed limits. Cruising speed is about 180 km(115mph). our little Skoda wagon was not what you would call a speed demon but we hit a top speed of 220km (137mph), but were being passed by the far superior bavarian engineered BMW's and Mercedes. 600km later Berlin!!!!

Berlin is amazing. We drove past the wall and through the city. We have arrived to Berlin on the 4th of july, Nick(virginia boy) and josh had been celebrating the whole way with the apfelwein and beer we picked up on the way.

Now as i said before we have been on the road for quite some time and been living by the seat of our pants no plans just going with the flow. S.E. that works apparenty Germany isnt really down with that. 10 hostels later and 5 Euro in internet later we were still homeless. Turns out the entire world was planning on coming to Berlin to sleep.

11pm Josh uses some sweet talking to get the desk manager of a little hotel to "accidentally" give us the wrong key to a large room instead of the tiny single we paid for.

Beat from the long drive i crahed, Josh hit the town, met another lady boy, some nice German's and a few not so nice, but in the spirit of the trip its all a good story in the morning. We traded in the car for a new set of hogs, this time the human powered model with a coushined seat and a bell instead of a horn. We cruised the citytook some pictures, had a nap, i went for a run in the rain and 2 cups of coffee.
