Going to Germany

Geo: 52.5235, 13.4115

This morning we hit the road at 6am. Brad gave us a breakfast on the bus, which was quite good. Then had a sleep. Then watched Ocean's Eleven. Slept again. Stopped for lunch at a truck stop and ate in the car park among the polluting truck exhausts. Finally started reading a novel I got two months ago. Mid-afternoon we reached the Polish/German border. Once again I missed out on passport stamps.
Finally arrived in Berlin. We did a driving tour of the city. First stop was the East Side Gallery, which is part of the Berlin Wall that has been graffitied/decorated. We saw the Brandenburg Gate, Parliament House, the hotel where Michael Jackson dangled his baby over the balcony, the Holocaust Memorial and other buildings.
Drove for a while before we got to camp, this was the second last time I would have to put up the tent!!! The showers here were great- clean and hot.
