Berlin

We have been in Berlin for five days now and have been doing a great deal of sightseeing with Anthea and Andrew. We have been impressed with the architecture which is far more adventurous than most Australian architecture and often very striking. Judith has outlined much of what we have been doing but one place we visited which does indicate something of the design ethic of Berlin is the Sony Centre, which includes a very large covered space with a windmill-like umbrella; this is a photo of the roof of the Sony Centre taken from below.

The food in Berlin has been fantastic. There is a very wide range of cuisines clustered in a series of eating strips, and we have had some excellent eating experiences.

Tomorrow we fly to Munich in the afternoon where we will be for three days and then on by train to Venice.
