Woman on Europa-Tour - Day 3 - 23/7/25 - Happy Birthday to Me! :)

Happy 34th Birthday To me! :)

I have never felt more tired. I am up very very early!

The Brazilian man working at the front desk at the Hostel kindly lets me collect my food from the fridge

I leave at 2:45AM to catch the Alsa bus. In 34 years I have never missed a flight. But I am very anxious about catching this one as I didn't know how much the bus would be. The bus is 5 euros. 

Hostellicious was a great place to stay as I could cook. 

I get to Berlin and spent too long at the airport . I bought some Mezzo Mix which I have spoken about before is my favourite drink when I am in Germany.

I get to my hostel in Kreuzberg. I;m staying at the Grand Hostel in Berlin Urban  Sonnenaleee: 

Please see information on this hostel here Hostel -


There are three men staying in my room. I would not stay at this hostel again because there is no kitchen. 


Above is the artwork inside the hostel room!

I take a long nap so don't feel like going to the Language Exchange Meetup like originally planned. 

I go for some wanderings and take some photos :) 




I go back to the hostel and change.

I then go to the Republic Beer Garden and meet *J and his friend from Toronto. I have a lemon vodka to drink. The friend tells me about some issues he is having with his landlord in Germany. We have a discussion about the housing crisis and I speak about my own issues renting in the UK. 

I get very lost going back to the hostel and I listen to Life is Good By Junk on the website

It wasn't a perfect birthday due the migraine but all in all a pretty great day :) 




J* name has been changed :)
