Hotel Hoppegarten Berlin

... With a lack of appreciation for the sport in Germany, there are only 2 or 3 fields in all Berlin. Therefore, they play on an Astroturf soccer field. All the dimensions are the same, just the talent is a little below sub par. They were amazed at how hard I threw and invited me to through them batting practice. I did so... and did very well. Following ...

... West - from what we could gather it was facing East? There is a Starbucks in sight of the gate... yes we had a coffee it is really the first time I have wanted one. We walked through the monument to the murdered jews of WWII and visited the information center. It was very moving. The girls waited outside as it was suggested that it was not appropriate for children. We saw museum island on our bike tour and ...

... put us all on so it wasn't a huge deal. We decided to break habit and not stay in a budget hostel this time, we instead booked a 4 star hotel in central Alexanderplatz that was close to a lot of transportation links. Now it may have been snowing in London but it was freakin freezing in Berlin. So after an hour or two in our hotel room we really felt cold and noticed that our heating wasn't working, after a bit of an inspection we hauled our ...

... the somethingth's (after he whooped the Gerrys on his way to give it to the Ruski's). While the French were there, they nicked the statue off the top. That's the real reason the Gerry's invaded France in: The Franco-Prussian war (where they whooped the French, took Paris and relieved the Louvre of a certain statue), WW I (where everyone whooped everyone else but no one seemed to get anywhere), and WW II (where Germany managed ...

... sent to concentration camps, and they were actually allowed to leave the camps due to their wives' protesting. Many of the women also brought their young children along with them to the protests. The protests weren't a modern-day picketing type of thing. The women would just go to the street and wait quietly all day and all night, occasionally going into the holding building and asking for their husbands. After the bus tour, I had lunch with a few friends. We went to a very authentic ...

... schnitzle!) Woke up early, checked out of the pension, headed on ...

... of everyone, smiles all around and it didn't take long for the fist ones to drink themselves into happy land. It all began a few steps into the Exmouth Airport terminal, whilst some people were still making remarks about the burning police car we saw on the flight into town. Someone was quick to int out, that 'roast pork' would be the dinner there tonigt. ;-) well not for us, quickly ...

... The old real estate adage goes "location, location, location...location is everything" and it's true because any other soccer game in any other place wouldn't have been special.
