I was told by a German traveler I met in Singapore that Frankfurt airport was closed due to a snow-storm the day before, so naturally I had my fingers crossed that the weather had subsided for my arrival, which it had. The pilot informed us the temperature for our arrival was minus ten degrees and everything looked so beautiful blanketed in white!

The train to Berlin took around five hours which originally I thought would give me an opportunity to sleep but I was way too excited and spent the whole time perched up at the window with my camera not able to look away from the perfect winter scenes outside in case I missed any of it.
After arriving in Berlin and checking into my hotel I spent my last couple of hours before I finally crashed out walking the streets in the snow and buying some fresh bread and cheese for my dinner. As it's almost Easter the supermarket was full of German Easter chocolates when I noticed some cute little Glückskäfer (lady-birds) which are sold as part of Easters celebrations here. I HAD to buy some as
- I love chocolate and am in the land of chocolate;
- Australia doesn't celebrate Easter with the insects (not matter how cute they might be); and
- I couldn't think of a more perfect end to my 1st day in Germany.
