drizzly summer

What do you do when summertime isn't what it is supposed to be (hot and fun)?
Hit and runs to flea markets, jumping in between rain drops and hiding in nice coffe shops,
like native food at the muntstraat and Maurice coffee bar, nearby the station of Berchem.

Both really beuatiful places, worth a visit (or two)!

When you visit Ostel Berlin, you feel like entering an authentic East-Berlin interior.
The building is as communist as it gets, it is situated nearby the longest stroke of Berlin Wall still standing and the rates are fair!
What more do you want?
