... lesson!!). Every restaurant or take away seemed to be Pizza or Italian and after a week there it was really the last thing we wanted to eat. But we persisted and finally happened upon not one but two wurst mobiles in a row!! We ended up so far away we had to catch the underground back to the hotel but at least it gave the camera plenty of time to recharge! After our camera was recharged we hit the bus again. This city is totally ...

... Daph, how much to you charge by the hour? We'll be back. I hope I don't waffle on way to long in these blogs, but I like details. If its too long let me know and I cut back on for these short Euro city breaks. If it wasn't for this travelpod site all I'd probably end up doing is sending a couple of lines out if at all,... Was in Berlin for the weekend had fun etc. It seems to come through twice for facebookers for some reason. It seems blogs are here to stay. ok, bye for now Ian

... and Naloa who had traveled to Berlin to meet and play music with Dragon! The Raw temple is quite an intresting place, originally it was a repair yard for trains, and as such has the feel of a rather industrial place, with large warehouses (I assume to house train engines) scattered around built with red brick. We found the warehouse we needed to be in, and walked in. Sitting almost opposite from the door, across the main room and stage was Dragon and ...

When Jerry and Maria found out that Berlin was only a 3 1/2 hour drive, they decided we should do a road trip. So, we got up early, hopped in the car, got the GPS situated and off we went. The only hitch in our plan was... snow. We hit some fairly hard falling snow along the way, which slowed us down, but we still made it in fairly decent time. We got to Berlin, parked the car, ate some lunch, and went straight to the touristy ...

... on the horizon. The Castle Church, where Luther nailed his 95 Theses, underwent damage to its tower in a rare hurricane to hit Wittenberg last January. The tower has some rather precarious scaffolding to support the repair work. Nevertheless, the tower with its "Ein Feste Berg ist Unserer Gott" thereon is an imposing sight. The Town church, where Luther preached, and where all his children were baptized, is really not far at ...

... The next day, I was off to Wroclaw (Poland) to visit a buddy, Lee Russler, who has been teaching English to Polish students for the past year. The train ride from Prague to Wroclaw was really long (6 hours) and bumpy; the train system in Eastern Europe isn't nearly up-to-date as in Western Europe. We headed back to Lee's single bedroom flat (apartment) near the Rynek. The Rynek is the main square in the city, near the university, and it has tons of bars, restaurants ...

We enjoyed a relaxing day in Frankfurt after the craziness of the game, which included relaxing in the hotel pool, before heading down to the fan fest in Frankfurt which was great. They had set up a massive screen in the river (which you have probably all seen on tv) and all the fans were there partying away in the sun, soaking up the atmosphere. From there it was off for three days of sightseeing in ...

... day all Jewish businesses were transferred to non-Jews. The accompanying pictures are quite poignant. From there we went to Checkpoint Charlie, the gateway for non-Germans between East and West Berlin during the Cold war. There is an US Army guardhouse there with the sign "You are now leaving the American sector". Surrounding this are numerous souvenir shops selling all sorts of paraphernalia associated with Checkpoint Charlie many of them with "you ...
