Our weekend to Berlin was simply great. I have been to Berlin three years ago but this time was even better. The Michelberger Hotel was so much fun, nice people, nice styling, food, atention to detail and fun! You should stay here if you can. It’s in the nice neigbourhood of Kreuzberg where we rented bikes and hopped from bar to bar, Luzia, Das Hotel (for sure my favorite!), Lugosi, A.Horn, Kleine Reise.
We started the next morning with a healthy breakfast at Marx Cafe and off to explore Mitte neighbourhood and say hi to Marianne from Und Sascha where she sells Lennebelle and to go to R.S.V.P a shop filled with stationary which I adore and did some more shopping. A friend told us about The White Trash bar and it was an experience in itself. Don’t miss this place!
On Sunday Mauerpark is the place to be when you love fleamarkets, it’s huge and I found some real nice treasures. A pretty rug (below) for the new house, an old pharmacy bottle and a basket for my bike. I think the best way to visit a city is to go by bike. It’s fast, you see everything and you can stop whenever you please.
With three friends I went to Italy to suprise our friend who is living in the hills of Tuscany for her birthday. It was snowing heavily in the Netherlands when we left and when we landed in Pisa it was the same. Living isolated on a hill in Tuscany means no acces in this weather so after an adventurous (car stuck in the snow and a long walk in a snowstorm) trip up hill we finaly arrived like little snowmen on her doorstep. We had a great time snuggling up on the couch together near the fireplace and just chatting the hours away. No problem being snowbound when you are together with your best friends!
