Just returned from a fabulous weeks holiday staying with a friend in Berlin. Thanks Margaret, and what a fab apartment you have.
I have always wanted to visit Berlin – a place of culture and a place associated with one of histories odious and fascinating men, Adolf Hitler. Below is a picture of me standing 30 feet above where he sought his own personal “final solution”.
I find it funny that where one person considered to be the centre of a “great germanic empire” is no more than a car park at the back of some 1980’s DDR flats.
Anyway the family had a great time – being a carnivore I enjoyed the German food, especially the bludwurst, and the beer.
More postings when I recover from the trip back….
