I felt fine on Monday so thought I’d escaped jetlag, however yesterday I was completely worn out (and was comatose by 8pm) and am still a bit tired today. Hence the lack of Amsterdam and Berlin photos to date. I’m attending a meeting of the library unconference team this evening after work so I suspect I won’t be uploading any photos tonight either.
Jetlag is weird, I have patches of full lucidity where I feel absolutely fine, and at other times I feel like a plane’s landed on my head or something, and I lose all track of what I was saying or doing… Also for the last few days I have absolutely no desire for breakfast, which is strange as breakfast is generally the meal I enjoy most.
We (well, mainly M) took some 1500 photos during the trip.
I’ve started to put some of them up on Flickr. So far I’ve only done England and some of Paris, and I haven’t completed all the descriptions as yet. Feel free to have a squiz and leave comments and questions.
Yes, we’re home now. Plane touched down in Perth airport at 1425, Sunday. I’m feeling surprisingly well and got through a day of work okay today. Maybe the jetlag will hit me tomorrow? The cloud, rain, and general winter gray is a bit difficult to take after the lovely European summer weather, though. Oh, and Paco was quite pleased to see us.
On the last leg of our trip.
Impressions of Berlin:
So many wide wide streets.
Many people living on the streets.
Lots of cyclists here too, but it’s nowhere near as bike-friendly as the Netherlands.
Things are much cheaper here than in Amsterdam (or Paris, or London).
People don’t speak English as readily as they do in Amsterdam, but they seem to understand my Dutch-English amalgam. (I keep going to say dankuwel and alsublieft instead of danke and bitte schön).
M is a good travel companion.
