Back from trip to Gay Amsterdam, Berlin and Munich

We're back from an awesome trip to the gay hotspots of Amsterdam, Berlin and Munich.

 

We stayed in other gay guesthouses and with friends and sampled the gay delights of these incredible cities. It is always embarrasing to admit that we have only one real gay bar/club in Durban whereas they have so many choices, but I would never exchange what we have for the seriously cold weather we experienced as Europe had a "cold snap" in their Spring - temperatures plummeted to as low as - 13c in Berlin.

 

 

We switched our warm summer weather in Durban for the icy cold of Europe for a 10 day jaunt to the gay hot spots

 

We're feeling welcome

As a brotherly pledge to work towards the demolishion of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Russian President Gorbochef gave his counterpart the famed kiss on the lips, now immortalised in a painting of the event on the remaining piece of the wall.

There was only one thing in someone's mind in the gay area after the snowfall

Even the angels in Berlin hae goaties and moustaches

Llewellyn was feeling at home with this orange mini, similar to the one he had last.

Jurgen in Berlin was the most helpful host with information about his city, gay life and simple things like menu translations where we had ground to a halt.

I would have loved to bring some gorgeous gay art back home, just the prices of everything were hectic for us poor South Africans.
