O'Brien's are doing Europe

So much for staying on top of the blog, it is only now we are finally on our summer holiday I have the time to update it.

We are currently in Germany and have spent the last 3 days exploring Berlin, and judging by my sore butt cheeks and tired feet there is not a lot of Berlin we left unexplored.

Today we took a 5 hour cross country train to Dusseldorf and tomorrow our next adventure begins when we pick-up our motorhome and head off south for the Alps.

The beautiful summer weather here of 25 - 28 degrees has been a welcome relief from the horrid Dubai heat and with Ramadan due to start any day in the UAE we are happy to be out of the country.

Everyone is happy and healthy, including bub in the belly (although I probably need to scale back on the cycling distances going forward).

Some of our pics from Berlin are below.

Brandenburg Gates.... and random bear



Cheers - we survived the 2:30am flight from hell and our first day in Berlin!



Berlin also gave us our first ever grazed knee with 'real' blood, it was very dramatic!



Naz was more than happy to discover beer at the zoo



Berlin Zoo.... this goat head butted Piper in the stomach about 10 seconds after this shot!



Picnic lunch and a break from the bikes. Cycling was the best way to explore Berlin.



Pumping water - possibly Piper's favourite thing about Berlin after the zoo!
