Berlin Bank Holiday
Observations about Berlin: 1) there's lots of wasps 2) there's lots of yoga studios 3) there's lots of currywurst. but no schnitzels. I had three days to explore and catch up with Simon and Sebastian, the guys we met in Bucharest. I nearly missed my flight and had to run frantically through Gatwick for the second time this year....next time I do long stay parking I must remember it takes AGES to find a parking space!!! I also got stopped at security (as I have every time this year!) because my external charger looked suspicious. On the way home I got stopped because my camera and hair straighteners looked suspicious. I even got taken into a private room for them to be swiped down for explosives. Sigh. Berlin-Schoenefeld airport is pretty rubbish and I have learnt not to judge a place by its airport. The train station at the airport is just as bad and very poorly signed so there were lots of tourists wandering about wondering which platform they should use
