Continuing to share pictures from August, we spent a whole day visiting Leipzig, a city that’s 150 km far from Berlin. We got up early on a Saturday morning to catch the 7:00 o’clock bus, but as soon as we arrived at the ticket booth in the bus station, we discovered that the 8:00 o’clock bus was way cheaper than the 7:00 o’clock (I don’t understand why this happens here), of course we preferred the next one and we also bought the return ticket that was the last bus out of Leipzig (10:30 pm). We arrived 10 o’clock in the morning and went straight to the zoo to drop off Lucas (Rafael’s friend from Brazil), he is a photographer who loves animals and taking pictures of them (check out his work here: l8photos.com), this trip was totally his idea. While he was at the zoo, Rafael and I went sightseeing around the city, the downtown area isn’t that big, so we got to see many things.

Artsy Berlin
By the little while I’ve been living in Berlin, I’ve noticed that this city is full of art! Any short walk around the streets or bus rides, there they are…
Art on the streets, buildings, remains of the wall, paintings in cafes and countless galleries.
The art keeps this city alive, and I love it!
Here are some random pictures we took while wandering around.
Next stop, East Side Gallery! 😉
Around Berlin
Since Rafael and I arrived here in the city, we are running around after a good apartment to live, german schools and visa issues. That has left us no time to do some tourism in the city, we haven’t gone to any museum, exhibition, etc….
I am amazed by how many stores and cafes there are here in Berlin, you can literally transform any little space in a nice shop. Everything just seems so organized here for me, but I guess its easy for me to say, since I have been here for just one week, but I’m already loving it!
Here are some random pictures of the places we passed in Berlin.
Enjoy! xx Continue reading
