Interesting Sights around Berlin

We found Berlin be be a grey boring city and really struggled to find anything to photograph. There were however a few interesting exceptions....

How about this for a portable BBQ - gas bottle on his back and grill in front.


You need to work for your beer on the Beer Bike, complete with driver and "barmaid"!



The used car salesman....

Rolls-Royce

On 1st October we left Kiki in storage in Cornwall - she'll be ok as Brian & Norms (who's caravan is nearby) will keep an eye on her for us.

I then started a three month contract for Rolls-Royce in Germany. This involved taking the overnight (and notoriously unreliable) sleeper train to London each Sunday and flying to Berlin in the early hours of Monday morning. I returned, shattered, late on Thursday evening.

On 12th November Em & I took the "party car" via the Chunnel to Calais where we stayed overnight in a hotel before driving to Berlin the following day.


We're now staying in an apartment in Rangsdorf whilst I continue working for Rolls-Royce.
