Hello readers,

I think when we left you, we were on route to Berlin on the very lux Deutsche Bahn traveling first class due to some anomaly whereby it is cheaper than second class.

We have now truly settled into our friends’ F’ and T’s flat in Berlin and are all eating brekkie at 5 am, as jetlag and walking for 8 hours saw us all asleep by 7 pm. Looks like we won’t see much of the Berlin nightclubs. We are enjoying every minute. Loving the food and the cold. It is apparently the warmest winter people can remember, around 1 in the mornings and then up to 10. With buds on the trees. Normally it is minus something!
We are staying in a very Turkish area, a bit like Sydney Rd only over the whole district. Feels very familiar. My German returns in dribs and drabs. (What is German for dribs and drabs I wonder?)
Bis spaeter!
