Decided to go straight to Riss this morning….but again best laid plans of mice and men!

Half way there – train transfer George and I leapt in the 2nd train for the final leg….an announcement in German and everyone got off the train! Hello, I looked around for an English speaking person to see what was going on, a multicultural society (hard choice) and after about five minutes asked the man next to me. Evidently there was police action at the next station and no one was allowed through.
Ok – so we went above ground and found the tedious 171 bus that headed to the hospital… very crowded as everyone had the same idea!
Instead of a 10 minute train ride, we had a very packed bus ride for an hour!

Coffee and snack time as the worms were biting and finally at the hospital with Russ by 10am (we had left at 8am and should have been there by 9)

Russ had had a busy morning with scans and blood tests and breakfast!
We stayed and talked to the doctor and more tests on Monday (these guys are good!)
Then about 2 we left to pack up ready for me to move close to Russ tomorrow and George heading to Greece.
We decided to find a local strip mall, toilet and op shop on the way home and had a very pleasant hour chilling in a local neighbourhood.
It was then back on the train and arriving at our area for the last time…,

Exiting the underground in our boho, hip, tagged German multicultural station for the last time.
We dropped our op shop purchases home and headed to a garden bar we had been eyeing up for the last few days.

The bus stop beer stop!

And Sue looking very relaxed with a dreadful tasting beer in hand! Please excuse the very unladylike pose 😦
We could have eaten here, but beers were dear and we had one last chance to visit our local Chinese shop

So here we are again! The best Chinese we have had!

And in our hood, apart from all the graffiti, that we are now oblivious to, this artwork on the building across the road….denoting the Berlin multicultural society that we are living in!
Tomorrow George leaves us for his boys trip and I move to my new abode only a five minute walk from Russ…no plans and plans cancelled but that’s what you get for wandering!
