Potsdam

 We had really seen all of Berlin (or all that we wanted to) so for our last full day in Berlin, we took the train to Potsdam which was about a 30 minute train ride. Potsdam was the residence of Prussian kings until 1918 and is the largest world heritage site in Germany. Today, it is the capital of Brandenburg and is famous for being used as a conference after WW2 as Berlin was being rebuilt. We didn't really know much more than that, and just spent the day wandering around looking at the beautiful buildings and were so fortunate it was such a gorgeous day.

After we got back to hostel in Berlin, Sarah was going to meet up with a friend from work that was also in Berlin for some drinks. I had heard that the nightlife in Berlin was pretty crazy so thought it may be fun to experience. We went out to an American Bar, and then to a nightclub called "House of Weekend" which you take an elevator to the top floor to get to. Basically you are allowed to do anything in the club (smoke, drugs, etc.) - it really was a different experience but we had fun! It was a good end to our trip.

Katy, Lauren and I stayed later so spent our last half day in Berlin just taking it easy and of course we had to have some Curry Wurst for the last time before going back to London. This will definitely be a week I will always remember and so glad I had such amazing travel buddies!!
