One of the things you need to have to keep you motivated and focussed is a Bucket list. 

Tomorrow I’ll be striking another item off mine with a two day whistle stop visit to Berlin.

That’s been on the bucket list for some time and even though neither my partner or I are city people, there are some places that are so steeped in History you just need to see them while you can.

Amongst many other things we’ll be racing around to see  is of course what remains of the Berlin wall. 

When that came down and with it the barrier between East and West it meant so much to everyone.

It was a victory for freedom of speech, freedom of thought and an end for so many to oppression.

In many ways the Internet has done the same thing by providing an almost parallel universe where any that wants to can thrive. 

It must be a bit like what the West might have seemed to those in the East on the rare glimpses over or through that wall.

I’ll be shooting some video and taking a ton of photo’s so I’ll be sending you a postcard or two in the coming week or so. 

Meantime - how are you getting on with your bucket list. 

Make it a big crazy, almost impossible seeming list ! 

If it doesn’t seem feasible then have a look at THIS VIDEO -
