Arrived in Sunny, Cool Berlin

It was only seven hours once we actually got off the ground.  We idled over an hour waiting to take off.  The plane was full, though I did see one empty seat.  The man sitting behind us was on the plane last week when it turned around after an hour. The attendant announced it was the first flight to Berlin, which I assumed meant Delta's first flight after the volcano. 


We left, finally, at about 8pm.  Seven hours isn't a lot of time to settle in, eat, sleep, eat and get out.  I woke up with Holland below.

Germany.

Germany, with windmills.

Coming into Berlin.

Landed at Tegel Airport in Berlin.

Our daughter met us as we came out of Customs.  We took a short bus ride to the subway.


On the subway (U-Bahn).

M's stop has a familiar name.  I don't think you need to know German to get it.



Wie Es Euch Gefällt = As You Like it.

  2. Our millenium subway looks very similar to the U-bahn. Ours was finished in 1896 (it was the first underground in the mainland of Europe).

  3. We miss you in Juneau, but keep posting travel pix. Your pictures were one of the things I liked about your Juneau blog this winter --- I liked seeing my hometown through the eye of someone new to town. You seem to have the same fresh eye for travel pix, too.
