Actually it kinda is, when you’re living in a hotel or a hospital with no air conditioning!
It’s one week and two days since Russ was admitted to this Berlin hospital and on the hottest day so far (36 degrees celcius) they had to flick off the air con (it was in danger of blowing itself up)
I went in early this morning and then headed to the mall around 11am – in search of an iPhone cable and air conditioning!
While my directional skills are somewhat relaxed (having had George for two weeks as the navigator) but I found it. Then had to walk another kilometre to find an “in” door! It’s huge and after circling the same shops a few times I found a phone shop, with iPhone cables! However both my visas malfunctioned (declined), I’m sure it was a device problem of the store, and I spend my last 20 Euro cash!
A little mall art while I tried to get my bearings.
Then a few more circles in the hunt for a money machine, certainly building up my 10000 steps per day, I found a “bank of India” (in Berlin) machine. That’ll do! And the first card worked fine!
Headed back (very slowly taking advantage of tree shade), in the scorching heat, to do a couple of hours work, then lay down and napped! Woke in a lather and thought I would hightail it back to the air conditioned hospital! No such luck….this was now turned off and Russ had gone walking in search for a cooler place!
A small car wreck in the middle of the street outside my hotel!
Found Russ who was feeling decidedly better this afternoon, determined to get those legs going – still a bit of oxygen needed and rests on the way – but promising….still not cleared for flying anywhere but hopefully baby steps!
There is definitely no shortage of water, in this part of the world, sprinklers and hoses are out in force keeping the gardens green.
I have left Russ and his new Roomy eating their dinner and found a little ‘Vietnamese’ kitchen – don’t know what I ordered but it smells good and enjoying a cold beer with all my friends! (Actually no one – don’t think women drink beer here!)
