We're in Berlin now with the group pre-tour before the Elbe River cruise. Berlin has new construction everywhere. No economical problems visible here!

Great flight in from California. Many friends and family of both met us here (some of course were on the same flight).

Had a great meal at an authentic German restaurant last night with beer! I think this is going to be a great trip! Tour of Berlin today.

Great internet connection, but then we're on land now in Prague and headed tomorrow to Oktoberfest in Munich. Some details to fill in before Prague, but Prague is really beautiful. Wonderful architecture through several ages/eras.

Andy, you simply must visit the St Vitus cathedral, possibly my favourite example of Gothic architecture, spectacular inside and out.

Absolutely perfect advice. Was there yesterday. Today we were in the old town and watched the famous clock! Tonight the tour company is giving us free drinks and a goodbye dinner since most of the people on the tour are going home. But we opted for the Oktoberfest extension.

Glad you enjoyed it Andy.

If you get chance one much more modern but still an absolute 'must see' building is this; the Žižkov Television Tower, an old communist edifice that has been re-crafted and decorated in a most, shall we say ,'unusual' manner. There is nothing else quite like it to be found anywhere in the whole world.
