Untergöhren to Berlin

Monday, 28 September

A fond farewell to "Schwerin" and the lovely people at Locaboat base was followed by a delightful taxi ride back to Waren. The driver couldn't believe that Australians had come to "little Mecklenberg". She pointed out places of interest along the way and answered lots of questions.

No problems with our train to Berlin and taxi to the Hotel California (!) in Kurfürstendamm.

Couldn't check in that early so we left our luggage and headed for the hop-on-hop-off bus, which took us on a two and a half hour tour of the city. And what a beautiful city it is, with beautiful buildings both old and new. We caught a glimpse of all the major attractions, many of which we will revisit later on. Took some less than successful photos from the window of the bus.

If you are a fan of "Antiques Roadshow" you will be interested to know that we found the Steiff Bears shop a couple of doors from our hotel. Everything in there has the Steiff button in its left ear, even when it's printed on a tshirt.

A last dinner with Judy who will be catching the train back to Prague tomorrow and then flying home. We are going to miss her and all her Facebook friends.
