Segelurlaub : Segeln lernen in Berlin
by blueknight1980
Ich habe meinen Sportbootführerschein in 2009 in Berlin gemacht.
Auf der Suche nach einer sympatischen Segelschule bin ich auf "Nautik Yachting" gestoßen.
Das war echt klasse : sehr nettes, junges und kompetentes Team und ein super Fuhrpark.
Die haben da nicht nur diese GFK Jollen, wie die anderen Schulen, sondern echt schicke Klassiker.
Auch die Terminwahl (ich habe einen Ferienkurs belegt) war super flexibel.
Hat insgesamt echt Spaß gemacht, sofort zum Erfolg geführt und ist aus meiner Sicht für alle Interessenten eines Segelscheins in Berlin DIE Empfehlung schlechthin. In der Segelschule bekommt man alles was man braucht.
Knoblauch Haus

This house in the Nikolaiviertel was one of the few to escape bomibing in the war. I'm not sure where it's strange name comes from. Is Knoblauch German for garlic? Nowadays the house is home to a museum.

Under the Musical direction of Daniel Barenboim the Staatsoper of Berlin continues the excellent top class and original opera producions that Germany is so famous for. The theatre is a jewel with it´s gleaming crystal chandeliers and gilded plasterwork. Seat prices very reasonable.
I bought my tickets well in advance by internet. Elegant and smart - be as creative as you like.
