22. Prague to Berlin

You know you have been in Germany too long when you can tell that 2 degrees feels warmer than zero.

And when you regret that your makeup has any SPF in it!

Today we caught the Czech train from Prague to Berlin.  We got to the station in plenty of time, which was just as well as it was a very confusing station.  Two semi-offical-looking people helped us, one took us to our platform, told us where to wait (on the wrong side, but we sorted that out) and where our carriage would be.  Then he came back and asked for a tip - they were not employees - but enterprising locals!  Found a euro to give him, as he had been helpful.

Four and a half hours later, we arrived at Berlin.  Not much else to report, apart from pic of the train and the station.

We got to our hotel, walked down to Alexanderplatz in the former East Germany, with street architecture to match.  It reminded me of some streets in China's cities - very wide, plain buildings, all coloured by the winter leafless trees.

And German efficiency in action.  This is where you put your dirty dishes at the cafeteria at Galeria Kaufhof - it is a conveyor system!

Tomorrow's forecast is a warm 6 degrees!
