Jacqui meets my train from Copenhagen(a feat in itself as the last leg came from Hamburg)
I have just said goodbye to Jacqui who has come all the way from France to meet me before leaving Paris to go back to the Congo where she works. Jacqui is my very intrepid neice for those who don't know her. She has been doing an intensive French language course.
It was great fun to laugh and chat about all manner of things.
She was concerned that we didn't do anything "iconic". However we decided that her meeting my train when she didn´t know anything except the arrival time was iconic. So also was a drive around the new East Berlin, Brandenburg Gate and Check Point Charlie and dinner on Unter den Linden, metting Totti and this morning visiting the Reichstag, coffee at the River Spree "beach" and getting my ticket to Strasbourg at the new Haupbahnhof .
She is now driving back to Paris to catch her flight back to Africa. I am about to get on my bike and visit more icons.
I leave on Friday.

This is Jacqui, now back in the DR Congo. It was good to catch you Bernie. Glad we didn't meet in Strassbourg as per the preliminary plan as all the hotels were full due to the European Parliament sitting so I would have had to share your tent!!
