2017-08-28 Bus 100    

The day began with a trip to the bakery.  Debbie was ecstatic as she got to eat chocolate croissants for breakfast.  There might or might not have been an instance of some people in the group holding up the line trying to communicate about coffee.  (Luckily, Debbie had no problems ordering)  our group needed some German speakers.

Still no suitcase for Joyce – Day 3 in captivity.  Let’s be honest here.  If Joyce is not happy then none of us are happy.  Joyce is not happy.  She is on the phone checking with Iceland Air, Lufthansa and anyone else involved.  Thus, Joyce decided to stay and wait for her luggage to be delivered.  Debbie had been assigned Berlin sightseeing as a task for the trip.  Joyce is extremely organized about trips and will fire off questions to the tour guide.  Debbie felt a bit unsure and wanted to take a test trip with Jerry and Larry.  Maybe Joyce arranged for her baggage to be lost to let Debbie take a test run (that Joyce is so nice.  How thoughtful!)

So, off the three go to take the U-bahn (train) alone.  They were quite pleased to get their 7 day ticket validated, take the correct train in the correct direction and popped up in Alexanderplatz exactly where they wanted to go.  Some people might call it lucky or amazing.  (Debbie said it was all planned).

They found the route 100 bus.  This is a city bus covered by the transportation pass which is a poor man’s tour.  Let’s just say that it goes a lot of places that we will go in days to come and helped get the lay of the land.  We didn’t get the prime seats which were the double decker seats above the driver but were happy with the ride.   The did go one place (wait for it).  Yes! A church.  It has been 3 whole days before the first church.  Cultural Moment:  Kaiser Wilhelm Church – The original church on the site was built in the 1890s.  It was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1943. The present building, consists of a church with an attached foyer and a separate belfry (under construction). The damaged spire of the old church has been retained and its ground floor has been made into a memorial hall.  The Memorial Church today is a famous landmark of western Berlin, and is nicknamed by Berliners “der hohle Zahn”, meaning “the hollow tooth”.

At this point, everyone felt guilty and went back to check on Joyce.  Jerry and Larry picked up lunch from Burger King (Really, Burger King?  Larry says it is his mission to eat at Burger King around the world.  Debbie declined but did gobble down the fries that Larry got her.  Can’t waste food).  Still no luggage.

Joyce sent the three to the grocery store.  They think that she was just trying to get rid of them.  The shopping led to some interesting discussions.  Debbie swears that she stopped them from getting pickled tomatoes instead of spaghetti sauce.  There was also a lot of butter discussion and perhaps a lapse in judgement on the toilet paper.  Eventually, the group returned to the flat.  Still no luggage.

Joyce decideed that after all the fun the group had on Bus 100 that she would like to ride that bus.  Joyce and Debbie left for the Bus ride.  (Debbie suspected that other people were napping during this time).  Joyce and Debbie were able to snag the prize bus seats but almost passed out from the heat.  They also decided they will never ride a bike in Berlin.  Those riders don’t know what they are doing and saw several cringe-worthy incidents.

They return home to find no luggage.  Joyce was not happy so the group is still not happy. (Except with Debbie as a beginning tour guide)
