This post has been backdated, taken from my diary. It´s 19th, and I´m updating from an internet cafe with a German layout keyboard which is a pain to type.

The five of us met at 3.15 at Liverpool Street. Everyone was so looking forward to this trip during the exams, and now here we are. We took the express bus to Stansted airport where we would begin our Berlin adventure. Unfortunately, there was a delay and our flight only took off at 8.15, almost a full hour late. On the flight, Klement, Kelly and Diane sat together while me and Yunlei took another pair of seats several rows behind. We had a good chat over the short flight, before we both retired for a short nap after a day of packing. We arrived at Berlin at about 11.15pm, and started to scramble towards for S-Bahn, the suburban trains. It took us quite a while to figure our how the train system worked and we almost boarded the wrong train. Thankfully Klement managed to get it all sorted out, and we were headed to the hostel within minutes. On the train, me, Di and Yun spent some time planning our route the next day, while Klement busied himself with Sudoku. Upon arrival at the stop, we mumbled and fumbled our way to the hostel, before coming out again to look for dinner. It was 12minutes past midnight. We managed to find a Doner Kebab place and quickly settled a delicious dinner there and hurried back to the hostel to shower, clean up and rest. It´s gonna be a long day tomorrow.
