Berlin– I Should Have Planned to Stay Longer–Moved on to Copenhagen

I have hardly “scratched the surface” on this city. There is a lot to learn, see and explore. I have become pretty proficient getting around with my transit map and my “cheat sheet” from Patrick. We went out for pizza at a little trattoria that landed here from Italy- yummy. Melanie is also a journalist and her magazine deadline kept her busy but she met us for dinner:

While waiting for our table we walked to the area where David Bowie lived for many years. This is the signage on his condo building:

I stayed by the airport and flew to Copenhagen— a 50-minute flight. It is a lot cooler in this part of the world. I bought a second pair of gloves to “layer up”. I took the train from the airport to the center city. This station is one of the prettier ones I’ve seen:
