Last post from Berlin

Sorry, in note form. Packed up, sad, pleasant hotel, efficient, friendly. Coffee again at favourite place.

U-Bahn running (only closed nights as found last night). Trip left over from yesterday to Stasi Museum at Normanenstrasse ... huge complex - not in correct building (refurbishing) - apologised not enough English signs - fascinating anyway - chatted to staff, explained about Dad and his job/post, all staff were ex-DDR.

I later wondered ... would it possible to explore my own, or his, Stasi File? Must research this possibility.

Back to hotel for bags, Schönhauser Allee by S-Bahn to Flughafen Schonefeld, too crowded (new BBB airport will open sometime on same site) but smooth through airport.
