The end of winter is near

What a beautiful last winter day we had. No snow anymore, blue sky with a couple of clouds and the sun is shining. Well, the winter is almost over and I'm so welcoming the spring season where nature comes back to life.

So let's go outdoors and enjoy this weather, riding the bike or just walking along the river whatever you feel like, there are plenty of places worth exploring.

First Visitor - New Apartment

It took a couple of months to furnish the apartment and finish it in time for my first visitors other than my parents. The reason for the catching up at my new place was a trip to Berlin for a motor bike show at the Mercedes Benz Arena. Who was visiting, my long time friends Nancy and her boys.

After a nice afternoon hanging up at the apartment spending some time together, we had to leave for the exciting night out. As I know my way around Berlin I just took Nancy and the boys all the way, dropped them at the entrance and then left, going for a nice walk at night all the way to a restaurant where I had a lovely dinner.

Thanks for visiting and have fun at the show

6 Day Berlin - Velodrom

When you get free V.I.P. tickets to go to see a race, who am I to say I'm not interested. I collected the tickets and after work I was on my way to the Velodrom an indoor track cycling arena that can hold up to 12,000 people.

Anyway, I wasn't sure what to expect as it was the first time attending an indoor cycling race but from the beginning I was pretty impressed with basically everything. It was not just the races and there were plenty of those with international participants, even an Australian made it to the 6 day race here in Berlin. I'm not sure how important this event is for cyclists but the arena was packed with spectators and fans.

Making my way to the inner part of the arena, the VIP section I enjoyed fancy drinks, food, great entertainment and watched the races from there. Later on I made my way to the stands and followed the different types of races and liked it even better from up there. Like I said before I enjoyed myself and would probably come back again as it was a fantastic night.
