Day 8, Berlin

After deciding that 30 Euros was too much for breakfast, we reverted to our usual practice of going to Maccas - very handy at the train station across the road.
We then did the other usual practice of a city bus tour, this time Berolina City Circle Sightseeing.  This was a two hour one, and when complete we skyped with Chelsea and Grammy, which was pretty cool for me, not being a regular (if at all) Skyper.
After that we took a train to Alexanderplatz in search of clothes I think (I didn't pack quite enough summer stuff and threw out my favourite shorts as the crutch split in Tokyo).  We had forgotten it was Sunday and no shops open in Europe, so went to a food and art construction type market which was interesting.  Lots of Eastern European and African clientele in that area.
For tea we went to the train station once again and had a pretty good Asian meal.
 For entertainment back in the room we watched a guy on the construction site next door trying to smooth off some cement with a machine that kept breaking down!  After a few phone calls and frustrated looking movements he finally called it a day as darkness fell (as you do). The next morning it looked ok so that was a big relief for us:)
