The flight to Berlin left at 6:30 in the morning so Katherine missed her class Friday morning.  This normally wouldn’t be a big deal – ‘Starting A Small Business in Ireland’ requires only a portion of a brain – but Friday they were deciding when to take the final exam.  It will all be sorted out in the end, meanwhile we were in a different country touring its capital, Berlin.

You can see most of our pictures in the other posts, here I’ll just give you some of our impressions of the city:

  • As soon as we arrived we noticed how quiet it is.  Even along the streets, everything’s just quieter.
  • Bratwurst in Berlin is excellent
  • There are museums everywhere
  • I thought a lot of people spoke English, Katherine didn’t think that was the case
  • The S-Bahn (overground public transport) is really slow
  • There aren’t easy-to-find tourist shops like in London, Paris, and Dublin

The pictures below didn’t fit into any other category.
