We took the same train route. We took an overnight train and tried to sleep in the sleeper car. The rails would in such bad condition and the ride so rough I didn't sleep at all - even after 1/2 a bottle of Asbach Uralt. This was after a long flight from the US, a day in Frankfurt and the time change. The next day in Berlin it was unseasonably hot (90 degrees in May) and I was so hot and tired I was sick. That was also the day Chris left me alone with all of our luggage in the Bahnhof Zoo next to the drunk man wagging his wiener in one hand and holding a bottle of Jack in the other while yelling at at everyone in the station.
But, I LOVED Berlin.
Oh, this day also makes me remember my evil sister visiting our house for Christmas (we were wathing the Ode to Freedom being performed by the Berlin Philharmonic). She brought her floor length Black Gamma mink over to "wear later if we walked on the beach". (In LONG BEACH? In a mink?
) Our black cat, Mephisto, however loved the mink. Kill Kill!
