The old blue one, that is

| From the East | And the warning that you are entering the American sector, semi authentic | |
 |

|
| This wasn’t there when I crossed through in 85/86 | And the push back. | |

| The start, heading towards but not to Spandau | The palce of Tears at Friedrichstrasse Station | |

 |
|
| S1 to Gesundbrunnen and then cross the road | Only half of it is left, the hill around it is the rubble from the other half | |

Just stuff that caught my eye
 |
 |
|
| Early morning Berlin | A toilet centre? | |
 |
 |
|
| Not a chippy in the conventional sense | Rathaus – Spandau | |
 |
 |
|
| Brauhaus Mitte | Their Pils, also with a slightly yeasty taste | |
 |
 |
|
| Brauhaus Lemke | The Dunkel, a solid drink |
And of course more beer
