  • Stretching whilst hiking

    Those of you who have seen me exercising in the past few years, will have noticed that I stretch the heck out of my Achilles tendon before doing anything. After a few years of doing this, my Achilles tendon is finally starting to feel healthy again 🙂

  • Reichstag

    The Reichstag in Berlin, the current home of the Bundestag (German parliament). The building was built in 1894. Many people blame the rise of Nazi socialism to a suspicious fire in this building in 1933. It was badly damaged during World War 2 and was not properly rebuilt until after the reunification of Germany.

  • Wannsee loop hike

    Wannsee loop hike

    I organised a hike for the Berlin Hikers meetup group. I figured I’m lazy, so I chose a short route. I wanted to sleep in, so I made sure the route was close to town. I wanted to blob out and drink beer and eat food afterwards, so I chose a place with a nice cafe at the end of the route. Apparently lots of others liked this approach, as a ton of people came along 🙂

  • Midnight bike ride to Müggelturm

    Midnight bike ride to Müggelturm

    A big bunch of us headed for a midnight bike ride to Müggelturm, a strange communist era viewing tower on the south eastern edge of Berlin. Apparently back in the old days, the hip thing to do was hanging out in a strange tower in the middle of nowhere, admiring the surrounding forest. We finished off our trip with a picnic under the stars by Müggelsee, the largest lake near Berlin.
