We arrived in Berlin after approx 30 hours in transit - not really sure we want to go on another plane ride just yet! I went to sleep on Pam as she was reading and telling me our plans for today and woke up approximately 10 hours later. I'm sure she did a great job of that planning.
Today we started with breakfast looking out of our Hotel Hilton window into a classy street below - a dress shop. We went on the Hop on-Hop Off bus around Berlin, enjoyed it very much and have made plans to revisit many attractions tomorrow. We stopped at the Berlin Central railway station which has a huge shopping complex and had lunch - yummo!
This afternoon we went shoe shopping, found the largest shoe shop that either of us has ever seen in our lives. Our eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Talk about shoe heaven. Lucky we were at the beginning of the tour and are conserving our Euro and suitcase space or the credit card could have been smoking.
This morning it was raining when we left so we borrowed a couple of umbrellas with hooked handles for the day. I am a bit worried about Pam who managed to hook herself a really nice looking gentleman off the street with her umbrella handle! He managed to escape her clutches with a laugh as he resumed his daily affairs. The next thing that happened as she walked along the street she was almost swept off her feet bny another man. This one was in a street sweeper and I had to pull her back from his clutches as he swept the kerb in front of her. Oh dear will I be able to bring her home safely!
Tonight we are going to a small restaurant which we can see from our window in our room to have dinner. I am going to avail myself of the free beer with the meal. Pam has promised not to take her umbrella to hook any other gentlemen.
Photos tomorrow - not completely organized today.
