I'm arriving on the 2nd and leaving on the 6th...
I gotta have a whole day at the zoo and at least half a day for Pergamon, at Berlin!

I've been reading a Berlin guide book & yeah my list of things to see is getting longer & longer. I'm gonna be on a mission outside of concert time it looks like! I might re-evaluate & get there on the 2nd even(I'm not doin Prague).

I'm gonna do the East Side Gallery on the 4th... Gonna get the metro to Jannowitzbrücke‎ or Ostbahnhof‎ and walk to O2 early in the morning... :-) then spend the day queuing probably... B2 I have seats so I'll do museums all day, and arrive at O2 just before showtime :-) Probably save most of my PJ shopping for that day too...

I'm seated night 1, standing night 2 so opposite to you. I'll try & get there early'ish on the day I arrive so have at least half a day then + the 4th, then I fly out at 16:30 on the 6th so half a day then too.

Anyone know how early you have to be at the airport before intra-Europe flights eg Berlin-Stockholm? I've asked a few people this & no-ones told me yet.

Sounds like a good plan... I 'm always at the airport 2 hours before my flight whenever I'm travelling in Europe, except if I can do electronic check-in online, which means you only have to drop off a suitcase and go to security... Check at the airport as soon as you arrive is a way to be sure...

Thanks. Damn, I was hoping it wouldn't be 2 hour check-ins. :( 9am flight = good, but 7am check in while on holiday = bad!

you should be able to do electronic check in for most flights, just look at the airline's website, they usually offer it. I know a few low-cost carriers (ryanair and the like) even require it, but if you've got companies like SAS they'll surely have it as well.
It goes even faster if you don't have any checked luggage, as you immediately proceed to security when you arrive, but I assume you'd have some bigger bags coming from so far away.

oh, when you're in Berlin, I personally wouldn't miss the holocaust memorial and museum. it's very very haunting, but they did a beautiful job of realizing it, so if you happen to have a few hours to dedicate to it, I'd definitely suggest it.

god I'm excited. ROLL ON JUNE!

1 month of waiting down, 5 to go! In exactly 5 months from today, I will be on a plane to Prague!!!

With all this anticipation, I feel like I need to line up some therapy sessions for Post PJ Tour Syndrome

haha, tell me about it! I went into depression when I came back from my Foo US trip last october...when I got out of the plane at Heathrow airport, and the first thing that happened on European soil was security throwing my imported peanut butter away, I was about to throw a serious fit and cry.

It's especially exciting for me since Manchester 1 will finally mark the end of my PJ live virginity...can't wait!

Ooh, that's right your first PJ show!! I'm so excited for you!!! If you had that reaction to Foo, just be prepared for PJ. Super high high, which also means for potentially lower lows.

They threw your peanut butter away?!?! For shame. I could bring you some...?

Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely have more than carry on luggage being away for a month. As for Holocaust museum etc tbh I don't know I could handle it. So intense. With so much else to see I'm sure I'll still be crazy busy for the 3 days or so I'll be in Berlin.

Yeah, I can't imagine what it must be like to have little to no clue what to expect when going into a concert. Foos are super amazing live, but their setlists do get predictable when you see them a lot. This whole omg-what-will-they-play thing is going to drive me nuts.

Yup, apparently peanut butter counts as a liquid and is therefore not allowed in your hand luggage...got it into the plane in San Francisco no problem, but then the damn British binned it

hehe thanks, but as I'll probably be travelling without checked baggage this time I don't want them to throw it away again!

There's a great place to eat in Paris... if you like meat, and seeing you are from NZ you might do...

They just serve one plate really... But it's AMAZING!!!

If anyone likes burgers, we should arrange a few of us to go to this place in Berlin.
I will go for sure, but the more the merrier...

Best burger I've ever had, and I've been around...

Aw man, I was all excited and then I opened the website and the first words were "The Bird is a New York style bar and steakhouse"

(I live in NYC). Although it could be interesting to see what New York style means to other people, I actually don't really know what people mean when they say that. And I'm sure it's more German than New York anyways.

I might be able to arrange a burger craving for when I'm in Berlin

Best burger you've ever had, you say?

It really is very good... And the owners and some staff are from NY i think but it's not like a Fridays or Appleby's or stuff like that... It's proper!! I had a few pretty good burgers in the States, Cheers bar in Boston, and in London like Lucky 7 Diner at Westbourne Park, but this place really is very good!! They used to have a huge burger that if you finished it you didn't have to pay, but they have stopped it I think...
I really want to have another burger here!!
