wuppertal to berlin

Wuppertal suspended railway. We heard a rumour that a circus elephant once fell out of the window and landed in the river below

A crazy hall of mirrors - or the German parliament? We arrive at the Reichstag to see the Norman Foster dome.


We walked the spiral walkway to the top of Berlin, and spotted the fantastic German fashion of the peaked (stationmaster?) hat for German men of a certain distinguished age.

Smudge the cat wanted to admire his reflection in the hundred mirrors, but could only see the seats of the German parliament below!
















After the hard work of filming was done, we stop to enjoy the atmosphere and record the moment













One weiner or two? Mit pea soup bitte.












The Reichstag roof flags were whipped out straight by the strong wind and rain. We had to duck and run to get back to the main building. A chance to test out our waterproofs.




The Berling Hauptbahnhof is an amazing building, like a futuristic vision of train travel in the year 3000. We left in a taxi for our hotel and all went wow, when we looked back to see the lights shining out like a beacon. It seems to stand in its own grounds, like a museum or something.



A multi-level ant warren, swarming with berliners heading who knows where?



















This blogging larks alright, but I'm a bit worried about Lara Croft pointing her pistol at me!







Are we there yet?
