It’s the last day of 2007 here in Berlin, several places around the world (namely those near Australia) are already enjoying 2008. I can’t wait for it personally. That said, my flat mates here in Berlin take off for their respective corners of the world on the 2nd, and I think I have to be out by the 4th, though I don’t return to the US until Jan 14th via London so I’m trying to decide where to go in the meantime. My thoughts are the moment are:
1) Berlin -> Hamburg -> Edinburgh -> London
2) Berlin -> Cologne -> Belgium -> Amsterdam -> London
3) Berlin -> Dublin -> Cork -> Dublin – London
There are bonuses to all of these options, and I’ve got friends to see, places to crash in many of them. Others not so much. I want to get to London by about the 10th so I can spend a few days there as well. Hmmm..

#2 seems fun if you’ve never been to Amsterdam. I’m not talking about the legal drugz, but the city itself is surprisingly beautiful, the people are amazing, and the girls are cute (and on bicycles). Oh, and Van Gogh museum is pretty neat.

I would say choice #1, simply because I would love to go to Edinburgh. No really good reason.

I say number 2, how could you not go to Amsterdam? Even if you’re not enjoying the freedoms Amsterdam has to offer you can still seee lots of cool stuff.

I vote for #3. Dublin’s the way to go! 😉

Initially I’d say Ireland, but that’s just because I’m starting to plan a trip there myself. Option two seems interesting and varied, and I’ve heard Amsterdam is gorgeous and fascinating.
