With the drenching behind us, and a decent nights sleep under our belt it was a good opportunity to rise early and take in the limited sights of Weimer. It was also a great opportunity for Grace to do some window shopping only - as none of the shops were open... yet. Weimer was a fantastic little town and we found many interesting shops and even a small market. Too soon it was time to make our way back to the hotel and head for Belin.

The drive was uneventful other then the fact that I decided I will never drive in foreign countries in the center of their cities ever again. With a large car, incompatible with their small roads, and stupid cyclists I was amazed to eventually make it to our hotel without any serious incidents.

After discovering that our rooms were tiny, we had no windows and our airconditioning didn't work it was time to pound the pavement Weimer1

 . We traveled East on the train to one of their city centres which was the more delapedated parts of the city (being in East Berlin). This proved fruitless for shopping though did allow us to take in more of the culture of the city. We visited their main park which had several impressive statues including one of the Water God.

We finally decided that it was time to head back to our room (or lack there of). By looking at the map we decided we were close enough to walk - this proved to be the wrong decision - though we saw many more amazing things on our three hour return. One of the highlights was standing outside the Bently Motors Store infront of a Bugetti Veyron... nice.

Once back at the hotel we decided to take the walking tour of Berlin the following day.

Cheers,

Pat & Grace
