The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

We went out for dinner tonight so Matt wouldn’t have to cook.

So Matt picked a Korean BBQ place

Where he cooked.

But no one had to do dishes so success.

Note: This is being posted 5 years later because Kerri and Matt apparently got lazy at this part of the trip and there is a big gap between Jordan and Christmas with no posts.

We took a tour to drive a Trabant, which was a “car” made in East Germany during the Cold War.

There was a bright pink one.

But the one we got was giraffe print.

It was not very comfortable.

But we kind of fit.

The back seat was worse.

But from there the front seat looks relatively spacious.

Until Matt actually gets into driving position.

Matt had to drive because he at least knows how to shift in a normal car.

This was weirder.

Especially with your knees in the way.

But he figured it out.

We went on a tour around Berlin.

This is the inside of the “car”

And the bottom of the “car”.

Positive note: no one died or was injured during this tour. Matt did have to ocassionally hit the gas in order to prevent the “car” from going into a stall. He also remembers nothing of the actual tour as driving a “car” in an unknown city with knees in the steering column is likely not a good idea.

A few months ago we visited one of the most photographed buildings in the world. And decided to try to take a picture no one had taken before. Guess which building?

Here is the top of the kitchen through a window.

Here is someone’s office in a back room.

Have you guessed which building yet?

It’s a really famous building.

But people don’t usually take pictures of the tents outside of it.

Or of the inside.

Or of this room.

Or benches.

Or this window overhang.

Or whatever angle is is.

There is a lot of glass in the building.

And tiles.

But really what buildings don’t have tiles and glass.

The building is a bit curvy.

Sometimes pointy.

Very wavy.

Okay maybe we’ve given too many hints.

But we took a lot of pictures so you can enjoy them waiting for the reveal.

There are some pretty cool angles that you can get when wandering around the building up close.

Look at all the concrete.

Okay I hope you’ve got it now.

Can you tell we had some time before the show we were going to.

Plenty of time to take tonnes of pictures.

It was a really cool building to wander in and around.

We are heading under the channel to get to France.

Our bus drove into a train which will carry us through the tunnel. This is the view from inside the train waiting for the other buses and trucks to load.

Then the doors closed between the train segments so now this is all we can see.

There were tons of trucks waiting to load.

We are very excited. Can you see the hour and a half delay on our faces?

It was very smooth I’m the train. You could barely tell the train was moving. If you got out of the bus to look out of the train windows it was dark except for occasional little yellow lights whipping by. It is only 75m below sea level but your ears pop because the fast moving train in the tiny tunnel causes weird pressure changes.

And now we are in France.
