From "far North Queensland after 3 or 4 beers" with love

As already mentioned Tim and Michelle are here for a visit from Melbski. They arrived last Friday night and we nearly missed them at the airport due to their Qatarian efficiency of landing 25 minutes ahead of schedule. But then all was good anyway, especially once we could sip a beer on the metro (conviniently prepared by Jack).

On Saturday we managed a very nice walk up to the Reichstag. Security is tight, so we had to prebook our visit a couple of weeks in advance and being a very efficient German systen we didn't know if we'd be able to go up until two days prior to our requested date. Speaking of efficiency, Jack and I were very inefficient with our time management and instead of having a leisurly stroll to the Reichstag, we miscalculated and pretty much had to run. But we made it in time and after a brisk frisk by security got admitted. They now have audioguides that tell you what buildings you're looking at from the glass dome, which is a really good idea for tourists... saves us talking too much.

Last night we ventured out to have some fried chicken at Zur Kleinen Markthalle. Timmy slept well in the pram while we were having our first round of beers and chicken and then woke up just in time to have most of our bread. On the way home the guys got (once again) exposed to the true freedom of drinking beer on the streets, which they report to be very liberating :) T'was a good night...
