The City Of Emperors: Postdam is the city of German Kaisers which housed their infamous army and also home to their most stunning and elegant palaces. It has always been hidden behind the Iron Curtain on the communist side of the Berlin Wall. It has only been accessible in the past 20 years.
Despite being under the communist ruling, the city is well kept in shape with its buildings properly maintained. It is easy to get here if you are in Berlin with the S7 train using an ABC card which covers all the transportation you need. When you arrive at Postdam Central Station, just hop onto bus 695 which will take you to all the tourist spots.
We passed through all the main attractions but spent more time at the Sanssouci Park where I would highly recommend you to do so. Here are the fruits of our camera trigger happy efforts:
As a summary, the Sanssouci Palace and Park reminded me of the Grand Palace in Austria. Maybe this was because there is a massive garden in front of the palace. It also worth mentioning that it is a UNESCO Heritage site.
I did not spend much time walking around the city other than to see it from the bus ride. It a must see if you ever drop by in Berlin. Their tourism board maintains a very good website that offers an amazing map that you can print. Click here to visit their page.
This is a holiday resort which we sneakily squeeze in. The name of the place can be broken down as Tit I See which only someone as cheeky as Gajana can realise. The place is full of snow which is first for me to see at this time of the year. The temperature did not feel as cold as Hamburg though although the presence of snow can indicate otherwise.
There were many stores selling their antique Cuckoo Clocks but most of them came from the same factory. Although it is hand made and mechanical, the similar designs made it looked like it came out of a manufacturing line with no uniqueness. I came with the mindset of getting one but after viewing how common and alike they were, I decided not to get them. A mechanical clock can cost from Euro 99 up to 400 depending on the size and the supporting mechanisms.
Here are some further snapshots I manage to harvest courtesy of Joe’s camera:
The trip to the land of the Cuckoo clocks and also the famous Black Forest cake.
It is not called the Black Forest for no reason. Somehow the forest does seem to have a darker shade which I only realised after being pointed out by a local which was sharing the same cabin on the ICE train as us.
We took an early train from the city of Hamburg with a journey lasting roughly six hours to the central station. Thankfully, we were staying in InterCity Hotel which building was attached to the station. Nearly no effort at all in locating the hotel when we arrived. Apparently all InterCity Hotel are located within walking distance of the main stations. Your stay also includes a complimentary all day local transportation pass.
We wasted no time and went into the City Center to see the sights and sounds on offer. It was indeed no disappointment when we arrive at the main square and even decided to join the queue for the famous sausages. It was recommended to us by our felow friend we met in the cabin.
Another place worth mentioning is Micros which is located centrally. It sells Swiss Chocolate at an affordable price. As Switzerland happens to only be about an hour away by train, a lot of the Swiss made products are available here.

Sorry for a short blog but I decided to clear my back log of posts fairly quickly.
It is rare cases that a cover song would be better than the original one but this track gave 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake's collaboration a new life. It top the charts in Belgium and Netherlands with it still being around.
Milow is a Belgian based singer and song writer with his fair share of accomplishments. I wish him much success in breaking the heavily American and British dominated industry.
This song has the royal sign of approval indeed!
Cheers,
