About Me

My photo
We are now in Oz after two amazing years of traveling Europe in our home built plane. We met many fantastic people who we are proud to call friends and have gained a much better understanding of the similarities and differences between the cultures of the different European states as well as the history and geography that have lead to these differences. We enjoy meeting people with similar interests to ourselves and learning more about other cultures. Please let us know if you're going to be in Queensland and would like to catch up for a meal and a chat.

Onwards to Berlin - Strausberg review

We were quite sad to leave Bonn as we met so many fantastic people, but it was time.
The fueller gave us the tip that Strausberg  has the best public transport connection to Berlin, so off we went.
It felt like a fairly long trip so we were pleased to hit the ground and meet the friendly handler.
Strausberg is a great airport: a long tarmac runway only 700m from a Berlin train station, so very convenient if you don't have bikes. However it is a good 1.5h journey into town on trains that go twice an hour.
We ended up staying a night in their pilots rooms (€30 for a double), wjich were new and nice and with kitchen corner in the hall we could heat our frozen pizza from Aldi and chill our breakfast yoghurt overnight.
Landing and parking all were quite reasonable and the €5 we paid for hamdling was fantastic for their services in bringing our plane contents from our plane up into our first story room.
