Our day started with a trip to the Apothecary. I was helped by a delightful young man, who seemed to know what we were talking about, asked the right questions and I got what I wanted . Hopefully I will not disturb my friend as much tonight as last night.
We went to a fairly drab part of town to the former Stasi headquarters where there is now a museum about how they were formed, how pervasive were their operations, and how they fell apart quite quickly .
Tomorrow we leave very early to catch the 6.40 train to Munich . We will, be staying with friends of Noels for the night and getting to our hotel in Munich late on Wednesday.
I have struggled with language. Someone speaks to me in German and I reply without thinking in Italian. Wires crossed in my poor brain.
The standard size of a glass of wine is 200 ml here, 175 in UK. Compares to 125 in AUS!
My travelling companion continues to frustrate me with his oldNess, but this is outweighed by the companionship we have and the laughs we have . Did I mention we are now finishing off our red after dinner?

I wonder what things frustrate him about you ;-) Why are we so stingy in Aus with our wine servings? Particularly when we are home to the biggest stubby! xx
