Berlin to Copenhagen

We’re on our way to the art museums!  I have given up on the blog until we get out of this hotel after a very frustrating time last night, sending and re-sending photos and typing and re-typing entries that disappeared without saving when the wi-fi cut out every few minutes.

It’s another sunny day in Berlin and we got Rick’s phone (which was kaput this morning) re-booted at the T-Mobile store on the way to the train station.  So, technologically, things are looking up!

I hope that Denmark has something besides schnitzel, which Rick had for dinner again last night…

I personally went wild with a giant meatball, much like meat loaf…

Disappointment--this is the line for the Alte Museum at 10:10 am.

We bailed on the line and went to the fairly boring Egyptian Museum and saw the bust of Nefertiti.  This is Diana, the only piece of artwork I was able to photograph when we came out...

...with (by the way) still a long line behind her—longer than it was at 10:10!  
Berlin is a city of the old and the new, always under construction as it seems is every European city we've visited…

Off to the airport again, this time for Copenhagen and in the evening, dinner of pizza and salad at Mothers Restaurant in the up and coming meat packing district.

Jetta, the receptionist at the Savoy Hotel, said she can feel a family of four adults for a week with what we paid for dinner.  Interestingly, Copenhagen is the fourth most expensive and the fourth happiest city in Europe.  On the way back to the hotel we came upon this refugee relief site--clothes donated for the huge European refugee population....

Finally, back to the hotel and our "matchbox" sized room.  We were upgraded to this room from a smaller one which had a bed and a couch, which is hard to imagine, but this was the most comfortable bed so far and thinking about the refugees being held in enclosures all over Europe, we are much blessed....
