Day 9, Berlin

We started the day by doing a practice run on the train to the bus station where we had to catch the Flixbus to Brussels the next day.  All went smoothly.
After that we went to Kufurstendamstrasse and bought some clothes, amazingly cheap for where it was. I think the store is like our Best and Less.
As we walked along we came across the Kaiser Wilhelm church that was bombed during World War Two.  I have seen the facade before but never bothered to go in.  It is amazing what there is still preserved inside.  The new church built right next to it is also amazing because of its modernity.  So glad I made the effort this time.
We had lunch at our first of three Hard Rock Cafes, and the food was awesome.  Ribs and salmon steak each time, and each time it did not disappoint.
We got back to the motel fairly early and heard that Chelsea had found a job in a photography business, which was wonderful news.
The only negative thing about the day was that Neil lost yet another leather jacket (number 3 I think). We believe he left it at the train station that morning, so it's probably an early Xmas present for a homeless person, of which there are many in Berlin. Oh well, hope they make good use of it.
