    Got to berlin only to find out that the beds we booked at our hostel were cancelled... we floundered around for a while but then eventually booked into an ibis hotel for the same amount of money using Ashleys accor discount.
    Had a walk around Berlin, went to a steakhouse for dinner. We met an african prince in the hallways and he invited us to a gathering and live music gig. Helen was keen. We went there only to find out they charged entry and it wasnt worth it.
