Willkommen to Berlin

Made it from Krakow to Munich to Berlin without a hitch despite Lufthansa canceling over 200 flights today to get over their recently settled labour dispute. We were flying economy on this leg have to say that Lufthansa has a very good economy service, you still get a meal or snack and they have just reintroduced wines (red, white and sparkling) and beer for their economy passengers...what North American airline does that these days?? Apparently Lufthansa is one of the worlds few airlines that actually turns a profit. Having said that the business class service is far superior on Air Canada compared to Lufthansa.

The weather in Berlin is a comfortable 20C which is so nice. After the last three cities having 30+C temps this feels lovely.

We checked into the Ritz Carlton Berlin and have been very impressed. The room is gorgeous and we got an upgrade to a room overlooking Potsdammer Platz. I am currently trying to talk Jess into going for a walk but he is refusing to get out of the bed with its 10 pillows (no exaggeration) ...he would prefer that I call room service for ice cream sundaes to eat in bed instead.

Tomorrow we have a bike tour of Berlin booked to get an overview of the city. We were here a couple of years ago with my mom and sister as an excursion from our Baltic Cruise but that was just a quick 6 hour tour.He won't move!!!

Just hit the button for lights, do not disturb, maid...all in the bedside table...cool!!
