 Thanks a lot Steve! I enjoyed seeing those photos again too. I'm quite
excited about going and I'm still sorting and posting from out last trip
just before Christmas!


Cheers

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

Geoff, the weather should be very good.

I had a great small guide of fold out maps - I don't have it with me at the
moment so can't give you a link to it on Amazon - but I ended up using it
more than the Rough Guide that I already had.

I stayed in the Eastern Berlin district of 'Mitte' at the Hotel Jurine -
difficult to forget the name for an English speaker <grin>. They have a web
site...

...but it was cheaper to book via Expedia. I've stayed there twice and I'll
stay there the next time I go to Berlin. The only downer was the expensive
breakfast, but there was a superb Italian caf? virtually next door.

Mitte is quite lively at night. Lots of bars, cafes and restaurants. Berlin
was a surprise hit, I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to.
Certainly I'd go there again.

Some piccies here...
