Leaving for Poland tomorrow

Had another couple of good days in Berlin in the home of our friend Thomas. He has had enough of us now and we hit Poland tomorrow. Visited Seelow at the German /Polish border which was the scene of the German’s last defence of Berlin in April 1945. We then went to the home of the author and poet Berthold Brecht in a lovely village called Buckow in the Maerkische Schweiz  where we were attacked by the biggest mosquitoes you have ever seen. They got more attention than the Brecht museum. At 3 Euros it takes 3 minutes to go round the museum. We also visited a Manor House at Neu Hardenberg which was rather impressive and was hosting a choir competition. The mummified heart in the local church was missed as it was closed even though it was Sunday? The weather has been much the same as home but with the addition of temperature of 25.5 C and brilliant sunshine. Tom’s nose is red but we don’t know if that is the German beer or the sun.
