Happy Birthday!

K and I spent the afternoon at Amelia's 9th birthday party. There was some extremely high calibre bowling going on there. This was followed by chicken nuggets and chips - truly the meal of champions. Happy Birthday Amelia!

Berlin - day 4

Final day in Berlin, K and I spent a rainy morning walking along the Spree. Took the express train back to the flughafen. Plane left on time and arrived 20 minutes early. We're in the car now and looking forward to an evening of Comic Relief and a chinky.

Berlin - day 3

Does this picture say 'Germany' or what? That, my friends, is a half litre of weissbier and a half metre of bratwurst.
Today, I have been to a massive model rail layout, the Sony Center, the former site of Gestapo HQ, the Holocaust Memorial, a Stasi exhibition and the enormous Pergamon museum.
I'm really packing it in but my feet don't half ache!

Berlin - day 2

Today I've been to the Olympic Stadium (brill!), Plotzensee Prison (eerie), Berlin Wall Memorial (fascinating), Brandenburg Gate (busy), Reichstag (closed) and Checkpoint Charlie (corny). Also ate pretzel and herring. Who's been a busy boy?

Berlin - arrival

Flight was 20 minutes early. We met some of Keren's colleagues at the airport and we all travelled into the city together. Train was clean and on time (we are in Germany after all!). Hotel is OK with a terrific outlook over Ku'damm. Keren went off for dinner with Visit Britain and I started the sight-seeing. Went to Hauptbahnhof, Tacheles (tried Currywurst), Empty Library, Nikolaiviertel and Hackeschen Hofe before meeting Keren for a beer and heading back to the hotel.

Berlin - EMA

The first sausage of the week, certainly not the last!

Berlin - Day 1

On our way to see Berlin. Starting off with a full EB at EMA.

Meeting Ollie

Had a weekend in Hants with Louise, Pat and baby Ollie. He's very tiny and seemed to like having is belly rubbed (Ollie, not Pat)!

Cadbury Eyebrows

Love this.
