There's just so little time, what with 17th coming up etc. (More on that later.) But as some of you may know, I spent last weekend in Berlin, and I'll give you a quick look into the first leg of the journey:
- My local boat at sunrise / my packed lunch and bottle of water which I enjoyed on board



Arriving at the airport by train / My sis taking the last goodbyes before take-off


As viewed from the taxi: Brandenburger Tor / Siegessäule


Landing, literally, in the hotel room / view from same room (East Berlin, Weissensee area)

I'll get back to this. We loved Berlin! Two days isn't nearly enough though - we felt like those Americans (begging your pardon..) travelling "through" Europe in a week, saying things like 'it's Tuesday, so this must be Berlin'... But we saw enough to take a lot of photos! And to decide we'd better go back sometime.

Plans for tomorrow (erh, today) - generally ironing shirts and flags for the 17th!

Berlin looks massive, in all senses of the word!
So what's on 17 th? Is it a holiday in Norway?

Ha about the Americans comment. So glad you had a lovely time and hope that you get to return for a longer (non-American-style) trip.

My Dad and my Uncle are in Norway as we speak (they went for the whole month, but picked May specifically because of Syttende Mai, of course).
