TapA321 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi folks, Yep. It's only been a month since my weekend trip to Paris, and now I've just got back from Berlin! That's the advantage of taking 2 languages for A-level! :001_th_smiles89: Not as visually impressive as Paris or London, but Berlin is a city dripping in history, and with World War II and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, it's quite a significant city in Modern History. There's also a very beautiful zoo and in terms of shopping.. well let's just say Mum and Sister were happy. The flights were between London Heathrow and Berlin-Tagel. Airline: BMI/Lufthansa Star Alliance. Airbus A319, parked up at Berlin-Tagel. Hotel. (The Westin Grand Berlin) Brandenburg Gate. Me and the Gate. Reichstag: Lots of Flags: BierBike! (Beer bike) :icon_thumbup: British Embassy. Veyron at the VW showroom: Berlin Zoo: Finally. Parked up at London Heathrow. Flight back was in an ERJ-145: Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for looking Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites

TapA321 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Thanks, Joe. Glad you liked them. Couple things I forgot to mention about the flight back. Firstly, the captain on the flight home was a female. This is the first time I've seen this in all the flights I've been on, but it's great to see. Secondly, on the flight home, the two flight attendants were in and out of the cockpit like yoyos and on the phone for a good 30min period mid-flight. What sort of things could be going on here?

mutley 4,495 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well I guess they were just countering the boredom of the flight? especially if you have to do it every day, also a lot of flirting goes on, I expect the FO was male. That sounds chauvinistic but true, having witnessed it! Link to post Share on other sites

SEATAC 400 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Ausgezeichnete Fotos! Ich bin eifersüchtig auf die Reise nach Deutschland. Ich hoffe, irgendwann dort zu bekommen. Link to post Share on other sites
GabethePilot 1 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Photo 5... nice. Did you get her number ? Oh well, maybe next time. I usually end up with a Hippo... Love the pic of the Tiger. Shame about the bars. I remember fondly, the Concert for the People given by Barclay James Harvest in the '70's. You should check out the album. "Berlin" mentions waiting for his girlfriend to arrive on the 10.30 flight into Berlin airport - check it here - main song starts at 3m 15s Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,495 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well George, that was fantastic. A superb production by anyones standards, great flashbacks to Berlin of old and the Nazi oppression and the new city as it is today. Brilliant, I really enjoyed it.
