Berlin baby!

Alive and kicking in Berlin. Spent the day walking, people watching, and finding the next warm cafe to sit drinking coffee in.

An update from yesterday's train ride. Wasn't able to post, no internets available till now:

Ok, I admit it. I was wrong.... I am dazed, confused and jetlag has officially kicked me in the b-hole. Almost an out of body experience, I am beside myself, amused at my own presumtuous declaration that I was victorious over jetlag. 

Oh godd I really cannot think straight.

I really want a shower.... and a bed....... but mostly just a shower. Yessssss. A shower would make everything better in the world. 

Still on the train to Berlin..... Just moments after I made my previous entry, the train I was on broke down and I ended up in a small southern German town for an hour or two. Apparantly we were at risk of freezing on train no. 1. Strange, because I was starting to feel quite comfortable, and getting out of said train to stand in snow filled streets for an hour did not seem appropriate for the result they were trying to achieve. Anyhow, they put us all on train no. 2 to Berlin, and everything worked out but this does mean that my transit time has been extended to a whopping 43 hours.

On top of this, the only thing I can remember in German is 'hallo! Frushtuck!" translating to "hello! Breakfast!".... Not that handy at 5.32pm I might add. 

I also seem to have forgotten how to speak English and have resorted to telling the Germans, in French, that I can't speak French (or German) but that I can understand a little English.

I'm pretty sure no-one understands anything I am saying no matter what language I use. They are being totally lovely though. I'm getting an overwhelming sense of pity. 'Look out, hear comes that special girl again. She's so cute and stupid. She can't do annnything. Aaaaaaw.'
