Last day in Rungsdorf

Today we are moving to Berlin. We have been saying goodbye to our lovely neighbourhood of Rungsdorf (founded in 804!) over the past week. After 9 months here, we feel that it is "our" neighbourhood and we will miss it. The locals have been very friendly, and whenever I ride by someone I know we wave to each other. That sort of lifestyle is priceless.

Living here is so great because of the convenience. There are 2 nice restaurants, 2 pubs, 2 biergartens, a bakery, 2 pharmacies, and a grocery store all within a 5 minute walk of our place. It is easy to meet up with friends for a drink after work or to go for a bike ride by the river. No need to drive halfway across the city to find a decent place to eat.
Romerplatz.

At Lindemann's bakery; a Rosinensnecke and a croissant by the Rungsdorf square.
Then of course there are the views. We had a little fire by the Rhine yesterday (Christine's super idea).

Early morning sun over the Siebengebirge mountains.
We'll miss our wonderful life here and hope to return some day.

Our address in Berlin will be:
Gontermannstrasse 59
12101 Berlin
