Soaking in Berlin

Berlin caters to every taste. Trying to sample all the good places in one night is just impossible. The other option is to find yet another monster-decorated bar, rest your head comfortably to the table and just let the atmosphere fill you up.
Now the trip is coming to an end, we're on a ferry, getting our stories straight & synchronized and wondering how long it will take the swelling to pass.
Let the before and after -pics (maybe coming later) be a warning to you about the satan of the booze (fin: viinanperkele).
Lots of time to do some calculations here. One impressive figure is 60 liters;
3 riding days in Croatia, maybe a total of 15 hours, consuming maybe something shy of a liter of water an hour. Say 12 liters. Multiply by number of Seagulls, you get 60.
That is the amount of sweat absorbed by our boots, leathers & helmets. In Croatia alone.
Now picture all that riding gear stuffed under the beds in our small, unventilated cabin on this ferry.
And maybe you should send a thank to the deity of your choice that you dont have to sleep in that cabin.

most popular pasttime in Berlin Warschauerstrasse

is polishing the white parts of your sneakers with a white pencil eraser. One eraser per 4 guys. You just dont get a pair of 150€ lenkars (fin:lenkkarit) if you dont save by sharing.
Came to Dresden yesterday, an exhausting hi-speed autobahn 500+ km, and to Berlin today.
It is a well known fact to those that know it well, that Berlin is the Döner capital of the world.
Actually it is speculated that the Türkische spezialitet was invented here and then exported to Mediterranean.
(if u're wondering who was the inventor, i can give a small clue that his name begins with Kim)

how to feel like a cosmopolitan -

and a beyond-help alcoholic at the same time.
If while sitting in a taxi you try to peek at the landmarks in hope of getting a clue of what city you are in, you might've been 2 too many cities or had too many Wiki Wacky Woos in the city u've b:n living for the first part of your life at (do something w your life, will ya?).
Me, I just feel like (dancing) going to sleep now.

alpine roads and semi-succesfull fixings

Yesterdays delicate fixing almost succeeded and almost all of us rode today almost hangover-free the transition to Bratislava.
A practical tip for the day after delicate fixing: You know you probably need to sleep 2-3hrs more in the morning if you get dizzy and a vertigo by watching someone jog around the track-and-field running track under your hostel window.
To my very dear friend SR I would like to say that no animals were harmed during our trip. And all events and persons are purely fictional and have no resemblance to any person, living or dead.
This is the story I'm sticking with, all the way to the pearly gates.
