Arrival...


01 November 2009, originally uploaded by sleepyduck.

This is Sunday's entry, though I'm writing it on Monday, as we arrived at teatime and couldn't be bothered blogging last night...

First impressions:

Weather - lousy. Dry but very cold last night. Pissing down all day today.

Hotel - great. I chose well. With a lot of help from Tripadvisor. One big complaint, though: internet access is neither free nor cheap. €42 for 4 days. Oh well, we're on holiday...

Waitressing - an art not yet perfected in Berlin. Now I know how Americans must feel when they visit the UK.

Litter bins - everywhere, with built-in ashtrays. Why can't they do that at home?

  1. Internet access in some hotels is a complete con - but it does help you get around and find things to do. No need for heavy guide books any more, just heavy laptops that use up all of your cabin luggage allowance instead! Ah well, enjoy yourselves - whatever the weather!

  3. Phew, that's expensive.. not that I've anything to compare it with! No, the UK just would NOT do ashtrays. After all, no-one's supposed to be smoking, even though the government gets a lot of revenue from it! (I was going to type "us", but the UK don't get revenue from our smoking any more.)
