The alarm went off at 2am this morning. Does that even count as morning? I had, for the first time in a very long time, extremely hard to fall asleep, so I only got 2,5 hours of sleep. Good thing we decided to get a room on the ferry from Trelleborg to Rostock so we could get some sleep. It was so well needed. Mikael drove all the way from Gothenburg to Trelleborg and I drove all the way from Rostock to Berlin. It was fun driving on the Autobahn, I managed to get up to 160 kmh before the traffic hit. It was so slow for more than an hour. Completely still at times. It was hard, even with our automatic car.

We booked the hotel on Stena Line before we fell asleep. We decided to go with Maritim proArte in central Berlin. Everything seems to be within walking distance. We checked in, parked the car in the garage and got ready to leave. We had no idea where to go. City centre/downtown Berlin seems to be everywhere. We ended up looking at some old buildings and walking along Spree where we found a restaurant. Had dinner, walked along the river the other way around back to the hotel where a night of longed-for sleep awaits. It hasn’t been too bad today, but I do feel exhausted now. 15 hours traveling, only 5,5 hours of sleep divided into two sessions. Tomorrow will be fun in the sun! 🙂 Sweden has really bad weather now, haha.

Just another hotel room.

We both overdressed. We thought it looked shadow-y outside, that it was probably a little cooler. But no. 28C is still 28C, haha!
