MERRY CHRISTMAS

I just want to wish all my readers a harty MERRY CHRISTMAS from Berlin.  Er, the train to Berlin. . . . you'll read all about that if you have not found out from my mother yet.  Anyway, Merry Christmas and you'll hear all about Paris and Berlin when I get back to London (or start backpacking on my own or when I get the time.  Whichever comes first).
