Excellent tour, memorial to German resistant, a hurdle, Hitler’s bunker and the last bit of The Death Zone.  Oh by the way, the World’s first traffic light.

	Block House, steak to follow 🙂

Start at Statmitte for Coffee & Wifi.  Lots of security around Knut.

	Apparently Knut likes the taste of green trousers!!

The food speaks for itself:-

It was an early start, it fact it was Sunday.  The taxi driver was good and rather good value for money.  I’ll be using Civic again.  Stopped at Newport and Bristol but not at Chepstow and Reading.  The guy in the seat next to me spent the journey farting in his sleep.  Not the best start to a holiday.  Arrived at the Central Bus Station five minutes early.

Security was fun and it wasn’t just that I had to take my trainers off and walk around in my socks.  I took all my metal goods out of pockets etc and put them in a clear plastic bag ready for security.  I was told that I could only take one bag through security, so I had to put my metal goods back from whence they came.  And of course when I can to the X-ray machine, they all went back in the bag.  How that protects anyone is beyond me.  Still as you can see from the picture, I was one of the first through and the bar wasn’t open, so I downloaded Twit and the Daily Telegraph podcasts.

Anyway nothing on the board, so I had a Magners and a large Cappuccino.  Immediately the flight came up on the board.  5 minutes walk to the departure lounge and straight on.  Airbus 319, seat F13.

See no rain but equidistant from the toilets.

Tegel, half an hour wait for the luggage.  The German’s haven’t quite got the hang of a speedy turnaround.
