without a doubt my favourite place for coffee in berlin. it felt like my little home when I went every day that I was in berlin.
if you ever find yourself in berlin, and missing coffee like we have in melbourne, go there. corey, one of the baristas, is fabulous and knows his shit.
other amazing coffees to mention
– no fire no glory
– bonanza coffee
– passenger espresso
– antipodes
– the barn roasters
paris
I planned to do one blog post per city, but how is one supposed to condense one week in an incredible city into one blog post? impossible. so I’m separating them; the sights and the food. but when I say “the food”, I’m really only talking about my incredible experience at le chateaubriand – no. 18 in the worlds best restaurants. and maybe a few other memorable experiences, like le garde robe.
paris was beautiful, even more beautiful than when I was there in january. I’d have to say its probably because it was warm, sunny and happy. everyone’s happier when it’s warm (must be why aussies are such top blokes). I did so much exploring and I guess that’s the beauty of travelling alone… doing what you want, when you want, how you want.
I also walked the shit out of paris. I conquered it by foot. and thats probably putting it likely. but when my feet started falling apart, I conquered le metro as well.
on the plane from melbourne to paris, via kuala lumpur, I wrote a to do list. something I don’t usually do when I go overseas but when I was there in january, it was so rushed and quick, I felt like I didn’t see even a smidge of what I hoped to. this time, however would be different.
the list:
– la tour eiffel, again
– montmartre & pigalle
– versailles
– jardin des tuileries
– sacre coeur
– notre dame
– cafe de flore
– kb cafe
– coutume cafe
– le chateaubriand
– le garde robe
– passenger gig @ le trabendo
relatively simple. not extensive, particularly for 6 full days. and considering out of 12 things, 5 were food related, I could definitely get this shit done.
