Today we have been tooling around Berlin.
This morning we visited the Reistag, Checkpoint Charlie and then had a bit of lunch. OK, I got lost and Amy had to send the bus away and then fine me herself, but these are details.
After lunch and another encounter with a Gypsie, we moved on to a Guggenheim exhibit, the German Historical Museum (saw some real fusilier and grenadier caps, by the way...) and a nice little book market at the university.
Dinner again at our favourite Italian restaurant.
Alte Fritz; here's a picture of Frederick the Great for you.
That's about all for now - running out of paid internet timeat the hotel andh ave an early start tomorrow as we are off to Poland.

Getting lost in a foreign city can be frightening . . . or it can be FUN . . . it is all in your attitude. And the stories to tell later, of course.
Thanks for the update.

Jeff, Horne got lost in Meyers Melbourne as a kid.
ps I’ve discovered a place in Perth (WA) that will transport foreign beers interstate!!

You can buy a Carton of Kostritzer Schwarzbier (ie 20 x 330ml Bottles) for $80.00 plus $20 for freight.
Meyers?
Never heard of it.
VB is 100% berrter than any of this foreign beer. At least it's got preservatives to keep it nice and fresh.
Yeah, that's right. Fresh.
Amy reckons I ought to add a note saying that what I just wrote was totally sarcastic, but I'm not going to. Ha.
Djien dobry from Poland (warsaw).
Hi Greg. I only just figured out that you were blogging on the go, otherwise I would have advised you to look for Rex Pils beer in Berlin (with Der Alte Fritz' picture on the bottle), visit Potsdam and Sans Souci, and visit the Berlin Zinnfiguren store in the Charlottenburg district. Alas, too late I fear.
Thank you for the photo of my namesake. Is that the statue near the Zughaus?
Getting lost in a city is the best fun ....... one of my fav things to do when travelling and it is a weekend! Sounds like fun, and it is definately thirsty work.
Der Alte - yes, thast's the one - I took lots of pictures of it. Most impressive - almost as goot as seeing his tattly old snuf-stained coat at the German History Museum!
Gibby Boxer - Michelle? Ary? We've had our share of both! The beer parts my favorite so far.
