Yes, Berlin was wonderful (as it always is), unfortunately, the weather was not all that good, rather cool and grey and some rain at times. I'll be posting some more stuff from the trip in the next couple of days. Some of the flea market where I picked up a very nice black Yashica FX-D with a couple of lenses and a case (the Soligor 35-200 Zoom is actually not bad at all) all for 35 euros, some of the new Hauptbahnhof and some from our boat trip around the city and the trip back home.
