Hey everyone!
Well we have left Berlin, the day before we left we had a look around the shops and went to KaDaWe which is a massive department store which is 7 floors!!! Really big and a shoppers dream! We found a dressup shop and tried on a traditional german maids dress haha it was quite fun! We found a huge store, you'd never get your kids out! There were handmade toys , soft toys that cost over 100 Nzd because they are hand made but so well done! Nanny I think I saw those bears u were talking about....Herman bears?!?!?! I think that's what they were called, anyway very expensive!

We were going to go to the perganon museum but unfortunately it is closed at the moment. It started to snow quite heavily which was quite fun ( except for it going in your eyes) so we continued to look around the shops. The next day we had a flight to Athens, we left -19 degrees and arrived in 10 so we were baking especially when we had a lot of layers on! We arrived and were a bit shocked I guess you can say, a new learning experience - Greek words have different symbols/ characters so we don't even know how to pronounce anything! We had the roads in English but we found no English maps and so they were spealt completely different. It took us about 3 hours from landing to find our hotel!!! But we made it! The next day we caught a bus to delphi, really nice place! Small town, nice and peaceful, our hotel had a veranda and all you can see are the surrounding mountains covered in trees and off to the side another town far in the distance, beautiful view! We saw the temple of Athena, the museum and archaeological site and then had a Greek meal in a restaurant with very reasonable prices!! Very yummy although I might not eat potato chips for a while, I had a kg of the bloody things on my plate that I forced my way through!!

We came back to Athens today, a day and a bit in Delphi is enough to see everything, it's a very small town. So just having a relaxing evening ( our first one!) maybe the acropolis, Parthenon etc tomorrow.

Anyway, c ya'z later
