After dragging ourselves out of bed we made our way into Berlin. We<br />
bought our tickets from the booth in the underground - this time<br />
remembering to actually validate them (something we didn't do in Vienna<br />
or Rome - so we'll still have tickets for next time!) we jumped on the<br />
underground and made our way to our first stop at Alexanderplatz.<br />
Our first impressions were mixed - the city looked quite run down and<br />1970's style prefabbed buildings were everywhere. We decided the best<br />way to see our surroundings was to make our way up to the 250m high TV<br />tower that looks over the city. From here we could see the vast<br />differences in the landscape. Most of the historical buildings in Berlin<br />have been rebuilt, although some have been left in ruin as a reminder of<br />the city's past. Many areas are being redeveloped or are in desperate<br />need of renovation where as the main strip leading up to the Tier Garden<br />look a bit like buildings from around Europe transplanted into one<br />place. Potsdamer Platz, on the other hand, could have been lifted<br />straight from America with its glass fronted sky scrapers - if it wasn't<br />for a great slab of Berlin wall in the middle of the path serving as a<br />constant reminder of the areas history.<br />
We also visited 'Check Point Charlie' after a bit of wandering in the<br />wrong direction as by this time it had started to get dark. The mix of<br />cultures in Berlin is evident and is somehow hard to believe this is<br />Germany's capital as it still seems very much a work in progress. That<br />said, it is certainly somewhere I think we'll revisit as I'm sure that<br />in our lifetimes redevelopment will progress at such a rate that

We drove from our free aire into the small town of Weimar early this <br />
morning - we had no problems parking in the centre yet again and we <br />
found that the parking was only 50 cent for 1 hour which was the <br />
cheapest we had paid so far. We literally had the town to ourselves as <br />
there weren't many tourists around. We took a few photos and wandered <br />
round for an hour or so and headed back to the camper so have our breakfast.<br />
We made our way toward Dresden which was around 100 miles from where we <br />were. We hadn't really researched Dresden so didn't know what to expect, <br />we just drove toward the centre. It was around lunch time but we spotted <br />some pretty impressive cathedrals etc and a wide road with a few cars <br />parked down so we pulled up and found that we were able to park there <br />for a few hours. It only took about 5 minutes to get to what seemed to <br />be the main attractions.<br />
Dresden was beautiful and had lots of things to see, quite a few <br />Christmas markets also - We stopped off at one to have a Bratwurst with <br />mustard (Very tasty!!)<br />
As we made our way in the direction of Berlin two of the Aires that we <br />stopped at were questionable so we decided to make the trip into Berlin <br />early. The site we stopped at is run by the German AA and is right in <br />the city centre, Adam spoke to the lady at the reception who spoke <br />little English but said that the underground was a 5 minute walk up the <br />road which would take us into (one of) the centres?! Supposidly Berlin <br />is so big that it has 3 centres .....<br />
After having to use the underground in many places as a means of <br />transport ,we were fine with using it again as driving into the centre <br />of Berlin with a campervan was sort of out the question!

This will be our last post from Austria - we are currently travelling to <br />
Munich. We found out last night that winter tyres are compulsory in <br />
Czech and on the spot fines are handed out on the motorways if <br />
travelling with summer tyres.<br />
Austria has just had it's first proper snow and they seem to be handling <br />it much better than in England - all the roads are perfectly clear. <br />Yesterday we travelled from Vienna to Linz (With the intention of going <br />to Czech!) not many photos as Linz was largely industrial and we spent <br />the night at a free aire just outside the city (See photo above)<br />
Upon leaving Vienna we needed to fill up with LPG since we had not <br />filled up since Italy and had been using the heater on gas quite a lot. <br />We hadn't realised but LPG is as rare in Austria as it was in <br />Switzerland and also taking into consideration it was also a Sunday not <br />many places were open. However, we had loaded all locations of LPG <br />filling stations in Europe onto the satnav so we headed for the nearest <br />one to find it was nothing more than a giant gas cylinder on a piece of <br />wasteland. To make matters worse it was pay at the pump and only <br />accepted Maestro cards which neither of us had!!<br />
Fortunately a friendly German who was waiting behind us let us use his <br />card in return for euros so luckily we were able to fill up with gas and <br />didn't freeze to death last night! We are quite disappointed to be <br />missing out two countries (Czech and Poland) but are really looking <br />forward to Germany, Netherlands and Belgium and also Paris right before <br />Christmas.<br />
Penguin has also taken to the snow.

The morning was very cold, it had snowed in the night but we had kept <br />
the electric heater on overnight which took the chill off.<br />
The city centre was just 30 minutes away by a short bus ride and then an <br />underground station ride into the centre. With neither of us being a <br />lover of big cities, we didn't know what to expect - but we were <br />pleasantly surprised. Although it was very cold (to the point that we <br />bought a pair of very silly, but very warm hats with ear flaps from a <br />Christmas market!) the sights were spectacular and we went up to the top <br />of St Stephens and wandered around many of the other sites. We took in a <br />flask of tea which made a well earned break as well as a Austrian hot <br />dog - which was about 80% sausage! As we were in quite early we left <br />around 4 and went back to the site as we were going to move on to the <br />next place, however it started to snow and we decided rather then leave <br />we would venture back into the city for tea. What's more appropriate <br />then a nice big Indian when visiting Vienna!? The curry certainly helped <br />clear out the old ENT!<br />
Tomorrow we head to Linz, with maybe only 1or 2 days left in Austria <br />before we head for Czech, we'll certainly be coming back here to visit <br />some of the high bits that were closed off due to the snow.

We travelled to Graz this morning after having an uneventful night <br />
staying on our free Aire. We managed to park near the centre yet again <br />
and spent a couple of hours walking round another delightful city. Lots <br />
of historical things to see and we found another Christmas market in the <br />
centre.<br />
We are now parked up at a campsite west of Vienna (Wien) which has a <br />direct bus route into the centre of Vienna - we will be getting up early <br />to catch the bus tomorrow morning. It is now thundering and lightning so <br />we are hoping for the best tomorrow! It also says on <a href="http://metcheck.com/">metcheck.com</a> that <br />it will feel like  -12C tomorrow so we will be wrapping up nice and warm!

After visiting Salzburg we headed for a campsite about 40 miles South of <br />
the centre. The campsite was called Tauern Camping, and again we were <br />
the only people there but the campsite owner was very friendly even <br />
though he had just flattened his thumb with a hammer!<br />
We managed to get lots of washing done and had a turkey stir-fry for <br />tea. In the morning we had an amazing shower, probably the best we have <br />had so far! We left the campsite quite late and we only got charged 15 <br />euros which was very cheap compared to the other campsites we have <br />stayed on so far in Austria. We filled up with water and headed for a <br />free aire close by to Graz - on the journey we encountered lots more <br />tunnels, some of them stretched to over 3 miles long in the middle of <br />which we passed from one region to another.<br />
Compared to the rest of Austria the south of Austria seems slightly more <br />industrial and not as mountainous than the other regions, nevertheless <br />it was still nice to drive through.

We woke up this morning and looked out of the window and as you will be <br />
able to see from the photos above, all we could see is snow.<br />
We didn't know we were so high up so we skipped having a shower and <br />thought the best thing to do was to get off the side of the mountain and <br />head for the main roads as the snow was falling quite fast!<br />
We drove about 20 miles to Salzburg and got parked pretty much in the <br />centre again - we ventured up to the main attraction and took the tram <br />up to the top (see photos) It was pretty cold today, it said around 3C. <br />There seems to be quite a few Christmas markets which start up in the <br />next week so we have started to see lots of xmas lights been put up in <br />the centres and in the smaller villages which are really pretty during <br />the day and even better at night.<br />
We are not parked up for the night at a campsite 20 miles south of <br />Salzburg and our next stop is Graz ....
