Pub Crawl Berlin!!!

So on our last night in berlin we decided without showering to join a pub crawl to 5 bars in Berlin. Its not like at home, on this one we walked and took trams and the underground trains to get from bar to bar. Yes, with drinks in hand, you can drink in public anywhere. If thats not enough, the tour leaders had backpacks full of vodka shooters and just constantly free poured while we were walking. So crazy. We hung out mostly with a pack of boys from Edmonton, Israel, Puerto Rico, Australia, and Montreal.

Tawnya never made it to the last bar. Missed a turn, took the wrong one or something and Jodi never noticed even with those 2000 dollar eyes. Long story short. Kinda. Tawn ended up lost in Berlin with Jaime from Puerto Rico (the most fantastic man)and 2 crazy dudes from Montreal (french of course). Jodi ended up lost in Berlin with the future Dr.Dave, and Ethan from Israel (who thinks nurses are "kinda hot"). After partying at seperate bars, the two of us set out with our posses to find eachother and/or our way home.

After 2-3hours of pounding the Berlin pavement Jodi and Dave got on a random bus hoping it would lead to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Tawnya and Jaime and team montreal eventually found a main train station and walked up to the first bus they saw, as no trains run at night. Low and behold, after hours of agonizing seperation (but really so drunk we barely cared) there was wee Jodi and ridiculous Dave sitting on that very bus. The reunion would have been beautiful, but the first thing Jodi did was lovingly slap Tawn across the face. After Tawn came round we shared the tales of our journeys and decided it was nobody's fault but the free vodka shooters. The picture below is Tawn and Jode with their loyal travel companions who made sure that we were not alone although they each were staying in hostels opposite the city from us. We love Dr. Dave and fabulous Jaime!!Thank you boys!!

So, we got only 3 hours of sleep and had to check out of our hotel at 11am and had a rough day at the zoo, killing time until our 2100h train to Krakow. Pics to follow of course!









The pic to the right with Dave and the other girl is our medical staff photo. She is a nurse from Australia working in Ireland, but on vacation because the nurses there are on strike, wanting more money and 8 hour shifts.






The reoccuring fellow you are looking at is Dave. He is the first person we met on the pub crawl. He is from Edmonton. He is also a Med student. Too many things to talk about here, can't believe the coincidence. He was such a good time, so ridulous, we drank him under the table and a gave him a lesson in how to treat nurses. Right in the palm of our hands, go nurses!
