From male bonding to girl chat

From Prague and a week with Stephen we headed to Berlin to spend a week with Clare.  We spent the week answering long unanswered questions.   We met Guntram, Rebecca and got to hear Clare speak German.  We spent a brief period attempting to be traditional tourists in the old centre of town but took more enjoyment seeing the other side of Berlin.  We crashed parties, went to the beach (still in Berlin, yes) and explored an old train yard that has been converted into a beautiful park.  The other main activity was eating.  Jason and I monopolised the kitchen enjoying the opportunity to cook with more than three ingredients.    The biggest hit was definitely the spinach salad.  Of course everyone helped with the desserts - mmm, chocolate and marshmallow fondue!
