It's raining today, appropriate for our sad goodbye to Ciocia. She has been wonderful, accommodating us, feeding us, and providing for all our needs during our stay. She is a remarkable woman, and we will miss her greatly. After breakfast, we record her message to her sister in Australia, pack our bags, say a tearful goodbye, and hit the road.

| Goodbye Ciocia |
We have had a wonderful stay in Poland, and met MOH's extended family. They have all been very generous and accommodating. It has been a privilege to meet and know them all. We will miss them, but always stay in touch. As Wanda said - GET SKYPE! Thankfully, now I actually know the people that we send Christmas cards to. Goodbye everyone, and hope to see you all soon - maybe in Australia??

It's a long drive to Berlin, and it rained almost all the way. MOH says he knows the way, but we get to Berlin, and he announces that he is lost. After some random turns, u-turns and driving around, STS finds our location on the map, and we are able to find our way to the car rental terminal.
The car is dropped off, and we drag our suitcases around Berlin, looking for our hotel. We are wet through, tired, and I am in urgent need of a toilet visit, so I am very grateful to finally arrive at the hotel. We drag our cases up 3 flights of stairs, only to find out that there is a lift at the rear of the building. I just want to hurry up, and get to our room! Very cranky at this stage!

We organise ourselves and decide to go on a reconnaissance of the area, and look for something to eat for dinner. My grumpy mood soon passes when we discover some interesting knick-knack shops along the main street. We bought drinks at the local Netto, and had dinner in McDonald's. Old fashioned sized burgers, and good value.

Lots of tourist attractions and shopping opportunities for tomorrow.
