Berlin was great! And there was more to come. Time to pack up and start our drive to Coswig. Catching up with old friends. Staying at their place for a couple of days too. We’re lucky to have friends in different places. After settling in, we were in for an adventure the next day. Hiking through the area of Der Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz (Saxon Switzerland National Park). More specifically, Naturschutzgebiet Pfaffenstein (Pfaffenstein Nature Reserve). What a beautiful views, and what a climb. Steep stairs, amazing forest scenaries and climbing over rocks. We had an amazing time. I wish I had taken more time to take better photos. What an adventure!

Berlin – Two
Another busy day in Berlin. We tried to see as much as we could but taking enough time to enjoy the city. In the end we managed to do quite a lot. We visited Alexanderplatz, Berliner Dom (Cathedral), Staatsbibliothek, Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz, The Reichstag. Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Checkpoint Charlie, Französischer Dom (French Cathedral) and Deutscher Dom (German Cathedral) on the Gendarmenmarkt. We did walk a lot again. But also took the bus and metro to switch things up. The boys seemed to loved that. And, in the end, that’s what it’s all about. Creating all these nice new memories together! Berlin definitely is an amazing place to do so.

December 2011 was when we last visited Berlin. Lots of things have changed since. The biggest one is having two kids now! We always talked about visiting Berlin again. So we did! During the last summer holiday we planned a couple of days in Germany as well. Starting in Berlin. Different season, bigger family, same city. Showing the boys around, learning the history and reunited with friends. We had a really good time!

Traded Hungary for France this summer. Camping in the Vendée. Just like old times. One place in particular brings back sweet memories : Les Sables-d’Olonne. A gorgeous seaside town with a beautiful beach and charming center. Happy to pay it another visit after all those year. Creating new memories. 🙂

A couple of photos of our Efteling visit back in April. This time mainly shooting in portrait mode. Just for a change and to have a perspective on the world. 🙂 Something many mobile phone users do anyway. But it’s good to variate and see what would work best for a picture.

During our last trip to the UK, we also had a quick visit to Portsmouth. A fourthy five minutes drive from Godalming where we staying. February meant it was still calm. Not everyone was on board immediately with the idea of having a walk. But that all changed after having a scavenger hunt at the Porthsmouth Cathedral. What a lovely afternoon it was!

We were lucky enough to spend some time with friends in the UK again. Just like last time we took the Eurotunnel to cross the channel. It was quite a short trip actually. About 5 and half hours, door to door. During our stay we planned a day to do some sightseeing in London. Blue skies and red busses everywhere. A perfect day to be a tourist.
