The bad luck we are welcomed on arrival at the station in Naples , after a trip from Salerno immediately look for the shuttle to the airport ... I booked in fact the only existing hotel in the immediate vicinity of the terminal, so do as quickly as possible.
We go out, there are plenty of garbage never seen anywhere else in the street, which is the function of a ramp for disabled people all over the pavement, the amount of compost now accumulated. Flywheel crushed bottles, paper, and we are in front of McDonald's Central Station, not in a township or who knows that. There's just unhealthy air, I try in vain to ask where is the stop the ' alibus , no one knows or has seen anything. Stops here are generic, it says only ANM, on top of poorly lit sticks hidden by plants. After the first bus that comes and there shit smear, the second putting the scream in the middle of the road and stops.
finding the hotel, which is accessed as if it were a barrack, sound, electric gate, beware of the dog, barbed wire atop the fence. 'S actually next to the car parks, very comfortable, great for a shower and a good sleep.
Sunday morning, the end of August, we are all ' Airport Naples . We avoid the staff that runs with the scooter without a helmet, his head is his and not mine, and we have a flight leaving at 9:50, I will simply present at 8.30 to board a suitcase, among other things, the check-in is already done. For the banks of Easyjet but there will be 200 people at a row steadily increasing, an operator only makes check-in at a slow pace. They spend 20 minutes and I have not moved an inch, the row behind me and 100 other people.
In these cases you go to ' action: it crosses the line and you go to seek guidance, as we have the first flight of the morning, and we have already checked-in. If I miss the flight because we to Easyjet. The guy at the counter says, "Berlin step forward" in a faint voice. But you should say it out loud, in fact there is "my wife feels bad," "which has the girl or thirst, is nu guys" that continue to move forward, despite having to do check-in luggage to be loaded and 9 for Liverpùl, flight of 11.30.
the fly's give up the suitcase, bip-bip ok, jostling a bit 'and also get other people who have a flight 10 minutes after we pass on to Geneva, arriving finally at 9.20 another operation of this low -cost very little organized, and the tail of the "urgent" disposing. A race to the plane leaving on time, even we are not the latest, There are three German girls behind me.
Flight quiet arrival in Schonefeld but ... surprise: no luggage. He stops the tape end. Without a chick to the airport, only speaks German. Takes me "Big Erik", a huge man who cares for the "Lost & Found . Here I report, I asked the type of case, coding, color, distinguishing marks etc.. Please note it takes me 20 minutes and not have anyone behind me, the only one who does so. It takes my address in Italy and the delivery Berlin. F ** k, we just luckily * * backpacks with all the stuff of value. I imagine some kind of movie scenes in my suitcase somewhere ... plus Sundays and is also touring see everything closed.
At least the hotel is nice, an area a bit 'cheap but secluded and very spacious. The next day we shopping, my contacts tell me that Italy will have the right to make their complaint to EasyJet and I will have to pay a bit 'of money. Lost in Berlin, with clothes from Naples, fortune attends us still, however, there are 30 ° and a good dose of moisture. My fear is the German time, able to reach 15 degrees and rain in no time ... not the maximum pneumonia.
Shopping Forced by H & M , who eventually reveals himself as salvatasche, there There are 3 or 4 in Mitte, the "center" of Berlin. I do a weekly paper of transport, given that I have to stay here a bit 'of time, so I'm comfortable. Then to get to and from us must be an addition to and stamp machines. The Germans are precise types, the public transport system is efficient in the capital. The
Hauptbahnhof, central station, all in glass, is enormous, and only now are making a pseudo connection by metro "underground" to get there with the regional S-Bahn trains that can take you just do not quit from the "Zone 1" which contains everything you need to see.
Hamburger Bahnhof, an old railroad station adapted to contemporary art museum, one of the "top" of this capital of Germany. Must see, must have original parts inside the station, in addition to the large exhibition areas, "standards" of a museum, there is a long shed you put us 10 minutes to do so without stopping. Go inside the rooms and public areas deformed oblong green monochrome without getting dizzy.
The circuit of these museums is SMB, but they are all closed on Monday. They will agree, as nearly all sides? Instead, here is the perfect day to visit the Jewish Museum , recent construction of Berlin, with the three "areas" issues that you visit first. In fact, the building where there is just the ticket contains offices, where steep stairs down and take a subway to the museum proper. To do alone, during the daylight hours, a trip to the garden of the Exodus, the plan will disorient heavily tilted and columns straight. A few minutes in silence in the Holocaust Tower , before I had never heard architecture. Maybe you take me for crazy ... Perhaps, but try to be there as I did, alone, for 5 minutes, without fixing the only light at the top.
then climb the long flight of stairs to the museum's educational, media, most interesting, covering everything the relationship between the Abrahamic religions . It is not very focused on local history of the Jews, for example, as does the Museum of Bologna or Genoa, but in general, from ancient roots and traditions that are repeated for over 5 thousand years. Many things I already knew, but we lose more than three hours inside. Unforgettable.
Nearby, * before * to visit the museum if you go there on Monday, is Berlinische Galerie . In this neighborhood everything restored, made up of houses, park with the animals (there are goats in the heart of Berlin?), This building contains many works of our great Emilio Vedova. For fans, must. There is only one, nautalmente .... ABC of Dadaism, especially focusing on artists who live or have lived in Berlin. Ultra-contemporary works of art next to start 900.
between a museum and another in the afternoon, you can not give up a mouthful of Berliner Kindl . Beer that if he sold to Bologna I'd love to, directly imported, however, not those "bottled for"! Lunch here is a typical fast Currywurst sandwich, chips and a 50 cl bottle (good measure!). The evening restaurant ever, as always in the "travel Tommi" turns around with a backpack and just before closing time you spend in a supermarket or rotisserie, then dine quietly in the room. Even breakfast, doing so will save a lot 'of money.
Last night a transition from GeorgeBraeu but you ... typical Berlin beer, good food is always full, so either book or arrive early. Sgodevole service, but when we leave him a tip (the Italians who leave a tip!) Make us a big grin and "come back". The restaurant, reminiscent of the Hofbrauhaus in small to Monaco, but much less rowdy, is located in a renovated apartment on an idyllic, typical of "beautiful Germany." The difference is that there is a stone's throw of the tower Alexanderplatz, where I get most viewed of 10.50 € seeking to climb to the top.
Better get the money to visit a wonderful art museum, inside the "Kulturforum" ... Gemaldegalerie , here we are at the National Gallery for the richness of the collection. Many Italians "heard of" Piero della Francesca, Correggio, Caravaggio, Raphael, an impressive series of Rembrandt, and in front Neue Nationalegalerie. At least 3 hours to go visit there, truly remarkable. Opposite, Neue Nationalgalerie : GAM in Berlin, in short. Picasso, Klee, Kirchner, et cetera. Otto Dix, as well. Here, too, is full of visitors, despite being a Tuesday afternoon, whatever, and not the students. The art care, obviously. It takes me two hours to get out, the works are put into a crescendo of emotions, you just know how to look, otherwise you break the balls (in no uncertain terms, that's it) in a place like this. A little 'me as I break on the beach where the body rested. There is a kind of combined ticket to enter ... anywhere in the city, however, were filled with museums, I have not file more than five minutes long!
Back to the hotel ... Spent ... and surprise! The suitcase! Next to the reception is where we expect with a handle disintegrated, who knows what happened to this store ... sure you are messed up in Naples, perhaps have pulled too far forward or you are stuck some roll? However, photos and anything else we do because we should also reimburse the repair, once back in Italy.
celebrate to the sound of Berliner Kindl, before enjoying the last remnants of art, last day ... Close to the castle of Charlottenburg , in the early morning are already in the Scharf-Gerstenberg collection , and the Museum Berggruen . Two buildings facing each other, views from the rooms will see the mileage line to enter the castle grounds. Find a lot of works of art of 900 because there are two collections donated to the city, which fortunately has been able to handle the volume of work. Klee, Giacometti, Picasso at the Berggruen (really many), the more varied the Scharf-Gerstenberg: Dali, Magritte, Grosz, Munch, to name a few.
The ticket allows free admission to the Helmut Newton Foundation . Do you want to waste it? Three plans, terrain found his personal possessions, many magazines, documents, car (!) And a few pictures of him in the company of its models. The first-floor collection "masterpiece" for those who know this teacher died in a road accident near Los Angeles, already old. On the second and last floor, another collection with photographs of Berlin.
The tour continues, there is little time to see the missing ' Alte Nationalgalerie . In the famous Museum Island, where we skip the Pergamon (reluctantly ...) and all the others, the least that we enjoy, it is pre German artists - 900. I'm in this masterpiece of dark Von Stuck, of crazy Bocklin , romantic Friedrich Schinkel and . There are 3 floors throughout, very well kept, with a monumental staircase, the place is really perfect, a small island in the middle Oder semipedonale.
