Berlin

The famous Brandenburg gates.

Brandenburg gates.

 It was unfortunate that like every where else in Europe at the moment Hyundai have put up great big screens and there is scaffolding every where for the  football.  That's great if you like the football and great if you like to party with about a million other people but terrible if you want to take a decent photo.

The local law enforcement officers on BMW's, what else?
I think they heard we were coming!

As well as the gates Berlin is of course known for the wall (or what's left of it) and Check point Charlie which was the crossing controlled by the Americans.

I know what your thinking, we went all the way to Berlin just because we are interested in war history!  Wrong.

Spandau-Berlin just happens to be the one and only place in the world that make BMW motorcycles so of course we had to take the babies home to see their birth place.

Out the front of BMW Work Gate 1.
If you look closely you can see the huge grin on his face :)

The babies even got to sleep undercover right
out the front of the hotel.

Maurice & Kev were like kids in a lolly shop. That had to sit and touch every thing and during the guided tour they wanted to be up the front closest to the guides so they made sure they didn't miss out on any thing.

Well what do you expect we wanted to have fun as well!

Maurice and I celebrated our 12th Wedding Anniversary while we were in Berlin and enjoyed a great dinner at the Dalmatian Grill restaurant.

When we told Denis, our excellent waiter, that it was our anniversary he presented us with a gift wrapped bottle of our new favourite drink. "Kruskovac"

Next instalment will be from the Czech Republic.  

Schloss Moritzburg

Cheers until next time.
