Hi,

looking for some help with an English text, I am confused ~~confusing~~ when I have to use present perfect or simple past.
"How are you both? I'm having a great time here in Europe. It's a cool place. I went to England and France and I stayed in Germany for a few nights last week. I'm in Spain right now. When I was in Berlim, I ate bratwurst, with is a really taste sausage. I visited some really interesting places, such as Trafalgar Square"

You are just stating a number of simple facts about the past, so Simple Past is fine there.

Past Perfect used when you want to start indicating an otherwise unclear sequence of events, . or when you want to start shifting your focus from one part of the past to another.
