Day 5 - Berlin

First backpacking 'on a budget' day....came as a harsh reality to the  kids but they pulled  through! Once they got into the spirit of it we had a fantastic day visiting several war and Berlin Wall related museums, navigating trains and subways, and   finding affordable ways to eat (the local supermarket became a quick favorite)--the whole day cost us less than 70 Euros...pretty impressive!!!!  The kids seemed to have a good time, but the three together for the first time in a month was not without it's challenges...Michael kept us continuously amused and irritated, Melina and Michael engaged in their normal bickering relationship within hours and Sophia suffered through by laughing at everything around her.....Mommy needs some wine tonight (which is in Mommys 'special' budget).

  1. All that packing must have made the three of you tired out. A little work doesn't hurt. Now on to your next point of interest. Love, Grampa
    and Gramma

  2. Hey Kris,
    What a great adventure! Love reading about your travels. Geoff and I were suppose to go to Spain, this past April, but plans changed. We will get there yet.
    I wish you and your family would come to VA for a visit
    Love, Adrienne
