We've arrived in Berlin ...

Hi there at home ... keep the comments going - we love to hear from you.
After 15 days and about nine or ten different hotels, pensions or BBs we have arrived in Berlin. We are really enjoying ourselves. We're pretty lucky with the weather too, the rain has stopped and it is a pleasant temperature.
Since I last blogged, we were able to hire a car and tour the Maerkisches Oderland, an area in the former East Germany, for a couple of days. We found that to be quite amazing for a range of reasons to be explored in detail when we get home!!
Gosh, am i taking lots of photos. So glad I took the big camera.
We have been in touch with Luisa and are catching up for dinner with her, and her family Thursday night. Tomorrow we are doing the city tour, jewish museum, brandenburg gate yadda yadda, most of the sights of Berlin anyway, tomorrow. we have sussed out a convenient hop on hop off bus.
On Friday we fly to Koeln Bonn, Anja will pick us up (hooray). We are both looking forward to 14 days in one spot - and especially to see my family .....
I am looking forward to ordering a meal and understanding the menu tonight, and Mike is going to sample the local beers on tap. A good thing at the end of each day ...
Julian and Noah hope you are going well, we are missing you.

Good to hear that you can enjoy the same spot for a while. We are enjoying some sunshine at last as well. Kit was very excited to have Julian & Noah for the weekend.

Hello Beautiful! I miss you sooooo much! We have done a whistle stop to Bright so I can clear out the caravan and annex... all my special books have been ruined, which was a big let go for me... The only things I really treasure. Happily I could talk it out with Maggie and she helped me with the letting go process... I did not anticipate I would feel so wierd about it!
