Bye Bye Poland

After a nice breakfast and a long discussion with our host about the state of the world (we did a lot more listening than discussing) we were off to the train station. Arriving in Berlin where we were set to change trains we discovered our train had been cancelled. Scrambling through the enormous 4 level maize that is Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof (main train station) we found the DB office where a nice young lady rescheduled us on a train to Hamburg. Arriving in Hamburg we went to the front of the taxi line and asked for a taxi for four to our hotel. The driver looked at our piece of paper with the address on it, looked at us, looked at the paper again, then pointed across the street and said, “blue building”. Thanking him, we somewhat embarrassingly slunk across the street and checked in. After whetting our parched whistles Judy and I went in search of a drugstore where a nice young Muslim pharmacist, with little English, gave me a carton of pills. After dinner we relaxed while Liz and Dana went exploring. Sorry, no photos of today.
