London --> Berlin

Day Two took us from London to Berlin in a short 1-1/2 hr flight aboard British Midland Airlines, United’s code share partner. 

Berlin's Tegel Airport

Took a cab to our hotel in downtown Berlin.


Nh Potsdamer Platz hotel:

Skies are overcast and rain is likely. At this point, however, we are walking zombies since we got very little, if any, sleep on the plane overnight. It never got dark out. The more north we went the longer the daylight (Land of the Midnight Sun) and eating up times zones brought morning all too soon. We have free WiFi at the hotel and as soon as we checked our email, there was a message from United Airlines apologizing for the trauma of the horrendous turbulence we went through. We would have been happier with a free drink or two, and maybe a replacement change of underwear.

We are heading out into the neighborhood in search of a quick dinner so we can try to get some sleep tonight despite the jet lag. Wish us luck.
