Carried onto one plane in Kirkenes; carried off another plane in Berlin. Note to self - don't fly into Berlin until the new Berlin Brandenburg airport is completed or Berlin Tegel gets upgraded with more air bridges, whichever comes first. Arriving by train into the gleaming Berlin Hauptbahnhof is infinitely superior.
Our apartment at the Circus Apartments (apartment Müller) is so hip, it hurts. But the staff are friendly and helpful, the windows open and we have a full kitchen. Dinner tonight (chicken, broccoli and potatoes) came courtesy of a shopping trip to the local Kaiser's supermarket. We are on a quiet street in a central part of Berlin that used to be part of East Berlin, and our apartment overlooks other apartments.
Tova has already seen a nude dude on a neighbouring apartment balcony.
