Let's try this again. Finally arrived in Berlin. Internet access is 8E per hour or 15E per day..... good job somebodies got an unsecured wireless lan around here :-)
Bea's Aunt was at the airport to meet us. Does not speak a word of English, nor I German.
So we resort to speaking slowly and loudly.......
Trip to the hotel was interesting, twice we were on the wrong side of the road going past on coming cars trying to turn again us. I almost crossed myself twice. Since discussed, with a relative, (what's the son of a cousin called) driving here you have to have at least one near death experience on the road per day otherwise you have not lived!
We for a walk this morning, Bea says nothing will be open, she was wrong the bars are still open and there is a free topless bar near here as well. Not that I have gone into either of them.
My impressions of Berlin, subtle neglect. Graffiti everywhere, things not a tidy nor well kept as they should be.
Paris airport is a nightmare, flight at 10:50, we left at 11:10. We thought we'd get to the airport, breeze through security and go sit in the lounge. Yhea right, the French want you to queue for no apparent reason.
So, queue to get on the escalator, do that again.
Get to terminal, where are the check in desks, big queue for Eazy Jet (or so we think).
No desks, but there is a BA Business/First and Gold members, we get to check in.
We then go right how do we get through, yes you've guessed it, that queue for Eazy Jet, isn't a queue for Eazy Jet, it's the queue for passport control (You take you luggage and baggage through passport control).
Queue up at the gate, get through security screening, queue up for boarding. NB we did not sit down from the time we arrived to the time we boarded in 2.5 hours. We only just got on the flight in time.
I'll now see what I can do about some pictures and a hire car.
