The boyfriend and I were able to spend the first half of our trip in Northeast Germany, exploring Berlin, Dresden and Nurenberg. There were long train rides in between so we saw fewer cities than the second half of our trip, which was in a more condensed area. For the second half, we traveled through …

Germany with the German: Part II
In planning the trip, there were a couple things I discovered. Frankfurt and Berlin have quite a bit of distance between them. We were going to have some long distances to cover at the beginning of the trip in order to have a more leisurely end of the trip. We were only going to travel …
