berlinner


just written up Paris and now Berlin

got here this morning, Sunday, on overnighter from Paris, 6 in my carriage including 3 children but sleep fine on the top bunk

chatting to friendly old man Gerhardt this morning about outrageous journey and he draws me a little map of some things to see here, horrified I have nothing

rent a bike at the station and have been pootling around, it's really nice to not walk but get some excercise before the monster train to moscow this afternoon

it's a Sunday and a lot's shut so have come to the jewish quarter and found a nice cafe for a beer and geek-sesh with apple

train to moscow at 3 so just time for lunch, have sussed out a lush-looking courtyard place

into Moscow tomorrow night (Mon eve)
