rush hour in a middle of a storm

After wandering through Pariser Platz for quite some time we decided to come back.

We were moving slowly and I'm the only one to blame - I can't help it when it comes to beautiful

buildings/places in general but to take a picture of it. 

Saying 'goodbye' (or should I write - 'see you soon'?) to Brandenburg Gate.

We got back to the flat, packed our stuff and went out once more - there was a store 
we really wanted to visit.

 That was the only promotion of Lana's gig in Berlin we've seen. We were quite shocked that they
haven't advertised it more.

Heading to the Alexander Platz for the thousandth time.

We went to Lush, but didn't buy anything. Wish we had this store here anyway!

And of course we had ice-creams in Eiscafe Lampe, they have one of the best ice-creams I've ever eaten.

Then we decided to go and buy some bits and bobs in Alexa. Ed Sheeran was going to
perform there the next day, we were devastated that we didn't get to see him!

The clouds were suggesting that it was going to rain, but fortunately it did not.

We were looking for a particular street, but nobody could help us with finding it so we got lost.

Like a thousand times. But that's okay - we got to see a different part of Berlin which was really cool.

We found our way after all, took our luggages and rushed to the bus station.
It was a rush hour, traffic jam was terrible (due to the time and all the festivals) and we got to the station 15 minutes before our bus departure. Wouldn't mind spending another day in Berlin though. 
We had a seven-hour trip ahead of us and I was so sad to leave Germany.

(gonna be back soon I hope)

lana del rey in berlin

It's been over a month since my trip to Berlin, so I thought I should write this post before I forget about all the stuff that have happend! 

We had a really good sleep and that's why we woke up an hour later than we supposed to (Ikea beds, huh?). Never been in such a hurry like that particular morning. In case you didn't know - it gets crazy when in comes to Lana Del Rey's concerts. Everyone wants to be in a front row, so we had to start queuing really early. We ate a quick breakfast with Reinhard and Isabelle and went to Spandau Zitadelle. Of course we got lost quite a few times, but after approximately thirty-something minutes ride we got to the destination. About fourty people have been there already and it was only 8 am! We met nice girls from our country and started queuing with them. I even talked to a Joffrey, a guy from Netherlands, who met Lana over ten times! 

After a few hours of waiting our friend Klaudia came and gave us our tickets and some food. 

It wasn't that bad as I thought it would be - people were way nicer than 

the last time in Warsaw.

We were sitting right next to the barriers.

We saw Lana's crew transporting instruments and other stuff.

After eleven hours of waiting things got crazy. Everybody stood up and was really nervous.

Around 5 pm the security guards opened barriers and the biggest marathon in my life started.

Let me tell you this - wearing boots wasn't the best idea! If I had my converse on I'd be first!

I didn't have the worst place in the end - I was in the second row (then more in the first one) so it

all was good. Funny thing - when I got to the stage I noticed that I stood behind my friend that 

I haven't seen for over a year! And I didn't know she was coming, so that was a big suprise.

Max Jury was Lana's support. Fell in love with his music, it's so calming!

He gave a really good performance. Totally worth checking out!

And then Lana came out. And it was perfect (let me have my fangirl moment for a sec, please).

I've seen her live once before and this time it was even better. 

Her vocal has improved so much and she looked perfect!

 Unfortunately she hasn't perform any other songs from Ultraviolence besides West Coast 

and Ultraviolence, but the gig was amazing anyway! Had so much fun, even though she didn't

 come to us and we didn't get a photo or anything. 

The surroundings were really beautiful. An ideal place for Lana's concert. 

After the concert has ended we had to come back somehow. 

Reinhard gave us a lift in the morning, but we had no idea how to get back to his place.

Thankfully when we got to the underground we met a lovely girl named Jenny and her friend 

from Belgium Alain and they gave us a hand! Without them we'd be so lost!

We we're talking all the way to the Alexanderplatz and it turned out that

we have a lot in common! I love meeting new people and they were truly amazing.

Hope we'll meet again in the future!
