Wunder-bar

A whistlestop tour of Berlin, me and Marina, a beautiful Russian now working in England.

We did the 'Wall', Jewish Memorial, Reichstag, ending up at the Brandenburg Gate. It was raining so we decided on refreshments in the adjacent 5-star Hotel Adlon, famous for Michael Jackson hanging his baby out of the window.

The lobby bar was fabulous, complete with piano player. I asked our waiter for "Zwei Bier bitte", but, remembering that Marina liked whisky, changed it to "Zwei Laphroaig und Kaffee bitte". Wonderful!... but the bill was 50 Euro!"

Fortunately, Marina held the project purse-strings. Phew!
