Day 2 12/6/11 - Germany

Berlin > London

Highlight

• Leisurely breakfast.
• Tried to look at Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedachtmiskirche but it was all boarded up.
• The Carnival hadn’t started when we arrived, so we could look at all the stores
• Only managed to catch the end part of the parade. It was very crowded, but the parade was pretty much like the London Mayor’s parade.
• Back to the carnival and it was now in full swing. Lots and lots of people everywhere.
• Allie complained whenever she was put in her stroller.
• Escaped to Schlossgarten Charlottenburg – very peaceful and beautiful garden.
• Flight was good – check in was crap but we all got in the lounge.
• We were delayed one hour at Heathrow thanks to the stairs again and had to catch a taxi home.
