Kiwis in Berlin

February 14th, 2017

Visiting the Jewish memorial in Berlin, with Karyn and Melissa.

I came across this very old church whilst walking around Köln in Germany. It is known as Alt St. Alban. It was a church which was destroyed during World War 2 and is now used as a memorial to the victims of war.

June 5th, 2016

Out with the “proper” camera and in with the GoPro 🙂 I remember seeing these when they first came out.

Safety

April 21st, 2015

The Beelitz-Heilstätten military hospital I went to during a recent cycling trip is a good example of where some common sense is, well, sensible! Most of it is totally safe, but there are some areas which looked horrendously dangerous. If you go to the area, please watch out for collapsed roofs, dodgy railings and bad […]

Beelitz-Heilstätten theatre

April 15th, 2015

Beelitz-Heilstätten graffiti

April 4th, 2015

I’ve been to quite a few abandoned places now. But Beelitz-Heilstätten is definitely the biggest. It’s also one of the most remote as there’s not a lot else in the area. I think the size and remoteness has resulted in a lot less vandalism and graffiti inside the buildings. There were some interesting creations though, […]
