Morning all,
this is an unusually self-promoting thing for me to do; blogs I always thought are for people in need of an ego boost or for compulsive liars because they usually have nothing to talk about. However here I find myself sitting in the creativly titled 'Hotel Berlin' divulging the details of my life to all and sundree. Well I suppose I better be entertaining.
The flight was like Clinton Morrison in his blues heyday; just late so we missed our chance to catch Berlin pre-11pm but hey I've been pretty impressed at how big the place is and also how decent the transport over here was. INSERT GERMAN EFFECIENCY STEREOTYPE HERE. Whilst the transport was decent over the seats were like a Dale Winton wet dream unfortuantly, bright pink and with mid 90's styled crazyness all over them. However I did find the words CSI scraped into the window, which I thought was our first referance to American culture, or our introduction to the CSI drug trafficking gang of Berlin, either way someone has taken time out of their day to scribe this in with a sharp instrument so I took a few moments to at least appreciate this clearly underappreciated artist.
We followed up our wonderful trip on the S-Bahn (where we changed over trainlines by just going down one stairs and up another set, Britians railways take note) with an even more wonderful orienteering trip round the streets of Berlin. However this wasn't quite like any orienteering I'd done before. This didn't include lots of pre-pubscent boys in Green woodcraft folk tops running round forests shouting 'no its that tree!' nor did it involve all the powerdered milk of a trip to Snowdon. Instead this was more urban orienteering and with the wheels on our suitcase providing the loudest noise in Berlin since Hertha Berlin last actually won something we also had the moral support of the locals of Wilmersdorf Berlin. After going down Rudolphstrate strasse for what seemed like an enternity we finally settled down here at the Hotel Berlin ready for our first day traverssing the powderless milked streets of Berlin. Emmas in bed, probably sleeping or cursing the sudden rise in Knife Crime in here arm, and I'm too hot to sleep but hey I must say I'm looking forward to Legoland Berlin tomorrow. If they have the lego food like the Simpsons prophicised then I'll be as content as I was when I finally saw a toilet coming off that plane.
Anyway enough of us you're probably longing for your cups of tea and fish 'n chips guvnor.
Auf wiedersehn!
