The treatment is extremely costly. The architecture, museums, food, beer and rail system all met with his approval. I guess what a guy should do is buy a roll of paper towel and carry it with him everywhere. After our ten-day circuit, which included Heidelberg, Munich, Regensburg and Meissen, I sent the Engler family patriarch home on what was, no doubt, an eventful flight. I went on to Neckar Gemuend, got blasted with some Teutonic comrades for the weekend and hopped a train for the Prussian capital.
Berlin is, without a doubt, the most dynamic city in Europe.
Uncontested for its dramatic history and its role in shaping Europe, this city whose spirit was never broken in three decades of division is exploding in a rebirth as Europe's cultural capital. In my travels to Berlin over the past four years, I've watched the former eastern sector rise like a phoenix from the rubble of GDR dereliction, making itself throne of Berlin's nightlife and cutting-edge arts scene, while the former western sector reinvents itself at breakneck speed as not to be left in the dust. This is why I couldn't pass up an opportunity to return once again and check in on the unending transformation of my favorite city. A few favorite restaurants and watering holes received return visits. But, naturally, what really defines my travelling experience is the personalities I meet on the road.
