I was a special gift to my owner, on Valentines Day 1996 from someone very special. We are embarking on a bit of travel, so you will be able to follow our adventures and tales, as I keep this sort of diary for my owner. You could say this is my version of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Something to keep you amused while we are on our journey. Please add comments, we like to hear back from you.

Berlin, Day 5





Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Sunny 25c.
Great morning, breakfast with a couple of other Aussies from Sydney. The hostel we are staying at has a kitchen open from 6 - 12noon, so you can help yourselves, to what you need. Today is a 'list day', things or places that we needed to do before going. Yesterday we got distracted from one of our original plans, so today it's on the list.
First up Checkpoint Charlie, then around the corner to part of 'The Wall'.
Next up on the train out to Ostbalnhof where there is another long section of ´The Wall` still standing. Some of the original art work has survived, in sections new work has been done.
Of course I had my photo taken at Checkpoint Charlie and at 'The Wall', hope my owner has time to resize them and add them soon.
Back on the train into Friedrickstr. and on to the 100 bus out and along the Tiergarten to The Siegessaule (Victory Column). Got a little surprise, but only a little, when walking through the Tiergaten. (Naked sunbathers) I wanted to have a photo taken with them, but my owner said I should not disturb them.
From there we made it down to the Berlin Guggenheim, and then onto Museum of Photography and Helmut Newton Foundation. That then took care of `the list'.
Tonight being our last night in Berlin, it's going to be out on the town, as the t-shirt says ´Good boys go to heaven, bad boys go to Berlin`. Wonder if Bad Boys Bail Bonds has an office here? I had better not say too much here, or I might get left behind at the hotel, like last time.
