Good day to all mylotters!
Today when I open my fb account, memories suggested by fb to be shared by me. Today, the 30th of August is the first anniversary of my visit to Berlin Germany. Time really flies fast. It seems that it was only yesterday when I first met the publisher of the PILYA BLOG MAGAZINE in Berlin. She lives in Bavaria and I in NRW (North Rhine Westphalia). I flew alone to Berlin and she drove with her family by car. We had a wonderful weekend knowing each other for the first time in real life. We are both bloggers and writers and now we wrote for our Filipino German blog magazine together.
It was Sunday last year when I was left alone by my own strolling the historical places in Berlin. My flight back home was at the evening so I still had the whole day strolling around.
What have I seen? Well, the popular Berlin Wall which is already destroyed and turned to an Art Wall. I have been to the Bundeskanzleramt (Chancellor building) which was open to the public on that day. There were many interesting places I have been to including the Spree River.
Have you traveled alone? Did you like it?
To be honest, it was good to be alone strolling the city of Berlin. I was able to see what I loved to see. I enjoyed it too much that I am planning to travel alone again but maybe in another city. I have no friend who share my interest in visiting historical places and of course visiting to museums. My hubby can't go with me as he is not good in walking long walks. Luckily, I have the permission to go alone.

it's good that your husband allows you to travel alone. i know a couple who's children want them to travel, but the father doesn't want to. he wouldn't let his wife (the mother) go, either, because he would be lonely at home.

@thelme55 no, he can do everything. maybe he's afraid he won't be able to stand the loneliness if she went away for several days.

@hereandthere I see. I would get depressed if I were the wife. So, if I were the wife and I get angry about him, the punishment is going away. Sorry, I am just an independent minded person who wants sometimes space from a suffocating relationship.

I have traveled alone for work to Singapore and actually I enjoyed it even though I got homesick by the end of the two weeks I was there. I have not been to Berlin though, sounds like a great place. I would love to go even if I'm alone if ever I got the chance to do so.

@thelme55 That is what's happening to me .. my husband had enough of travelling so he said I should go if I want to .. But I just don't like travelling by myself to other places I've never been before .. and I don't have anyone here to accompany me ..

I see @epiffanie. I was like that at first but hubby encouraged me to go alone or else I will not be able to see what I like to see. He is right. I will never be if I wait for him.

@epiffanie I wish we live in the same place so we could not travel alone. We could go together.
