East Berlin, The Wall, Interweb@DunkinDonuts

Day 1) We have landed in Berlin! Although technically "crashed" may be a more accurate word. After 15 hours of flights and the 9 hour time change we arrived in Germany with no sleep at 10am local time. Very very sleepy Henry...


Day 2) We definitively determined that the 2001 Lonely Planet "Europe on a Shoestring" sucks. Despite our travel guide we found what remains of the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and took an improv bus tour through old East Berlin. JD describes it as "shockingly undilapidated". I myself was a little dissapointed at the lack of Soviet checkpoints and scattered communist corpses. But I suppose we are 20 years or so too late.

All of the DunkinDonutses (it wants our donutses...my precious...) here are internet cafes. Brilliant!

So now, post nap and coffee, we are off to the famous "Reichstag Nude Swimming Techno Club"

More to come later.
