Okay so 3 posts doesn't make me a blogger so I'd better add more to make it worth while. A few things have happened on the way to Berlin. I'm not there yet but will be leaving shortly. First of all we got married. That's me in the green and F in the white shirt. Shame you can't see his legs coz he had a kilt on. My best buddy and myself made my outfit then I did all the embroidery including a nice thistle on the right sleeve to match my thistle tattoo (got that in August on my unofficial hen night). We got married in the Stadsdeelkantoor Oud Zuid in Amsterdam and then went to the Vondelpark for a picnic afterwards. Later on we went with close friends and family to La Caña (the wee tapas bar which I couldn't remember the name of) and stuffed ourselves full of very nice food and sangria. Friday we had a party at the rugby clubhouse. It was mad. All the important people were there and we managed to get through 5 kegs of Heineken and 1 keg of Boon Kriek.
We should have bought 2 of them as they are soooo lekker. My Mum and my Sister were a wee bit drunk at the party but they had great fun. In fact everyone who was there had great fun. I thouroughly reckommend getting married. Its the best party ever. 
Saturday was spent nursing hangovers and farting about on a canal boat with some of the friends who came over for the party. The best way to see Amsterdam is by boat. You see it from a completely different angle. Then back to the club house to hose down the floor and check everything was still in one piece.
Between the last blog and now we've been to Berlin 3 times and found a flat in Berlin Mitte. Its such a cool place. We're in the Scheunenviertel which is lovely. There are loads of wee cafés, bars and restaurants just around the corner and we're really close to all of the main tourist attractions which makes it very easy for visitors. Last time we were there we stayed at wee hotel on the same street as we'll be living. I'm having a bit of bother posting a piccie but its called the Hotel Andechser Hof. www.andechserhof.de Its very sweet and not bad on the pocket either.
Well off to do something useful now however, I do promise to try and update my blog a bit more often as it will be nice to keep people posted on what we've been up to while we're there.
See ya, BB x
