Today was the last day in Berlin. Debbie was determined that the group use their museum passes to obtain full value. She chose the German History National Museum as the first step. Cultural Moment: The Germany History National Museum is a chronological tour through two floors that presents Germany history in its European context. The museum did not have English audio guides and it took a little while to figure out the flow but overall it is a good museum that the group would recommend.
There was one incident with a guard and Joyce. Joyce made the mistake of asking a guard if she could drink water in the museum. He said many things all of which translated to “No”. Joyce thought this meant that she could just take the water into the museum as long as she did not open it. Turns out that it does not mean that. The guard followed Joyce around the entry way of the museum until she tried to check the water. The guard instructed the bag check lady not to check Joyce’s water. She was instructed to put the water on the desk but she could not check it. Joyce and the lady exchanged eye rolls. Joyce was happy to report that the water was returned at the end of the museum visit.
Lunch was at a great restaurant that we highly recommend. Larry and Jerry got the special boiled meat plate. It was much better than it sounds. (Debbie suggested the “Spiffy Meat Platter” as a name. The restaurant needs to work on the name of their dishes.) It was meat boiled in a broth used as a soup and then the meat was the entrée. Debbie stuck with wiener schnitzel. (Hard to mess that up) . Larry said that his meal was good but that he really liked Debbie’s meal. The restaurant was Aigrier Gendarmarket.
The chocolate club had an exceptional field trip planned. As a surpriseThey stopped at the Ritter Company store and Rausch Debbie then planned an exceptional field trip for the chocolate club. The
They also visited Ritter’s Chocolate flagship. A customer is able to make their own custom made chocolate club. Debbie wanted to make a chocolate club bar but the wine club said that it would take too much time. Next stop Rausch Schokoladenhaus, located in the Gendarmenmarkt square in Berlin’s Mitte district, is completely devoted to chocolate enjoyment. They have awesome chocolate sculptures. The chocolate club was ecstatic.
Some stores charge shipping costs as well. secretworldchronicle.com cheapest viagra no prescription There are many remedies for treating loved this viagra pharmacy erectile dysfunction but most of the men continue it secretly. High blood pressure pills viagra 25 mg and anti-depressants have been especially linked to retrograde ejaculation. Men who are not even tadalafil from india suffering from the erectile dysfunction. Debbie tried to get the group back on track for another museum but they declined and headed back. Larry had some excitement as he exited the train. He felt a hand in his pocket. He turned around to find a woman who was trying to steal his wallet. He flashed his mason’s badge with the Texas star and she ran away. Larry did not lose anything.
Down side – Les Cheap Girl failed on full value of the museum pass.
Up side – Larry is now called the Texas Sheriff, available for hire!
Larry..good move. Flashing mason badge with Texas star!! A whistle for Les cheap girls may be handy too. But not to wish pickpockets on any traveler. Yes agree the “special” meat aka boiled meat blah looking. Schnitzel always winner!
Where next? Surely won’t miss Munich October fest in September?
Several stream-of-consciousness comments:
1) It is well past time to vacate Berlin. Tour members are on too many BOLO (be on the lookout for) lists with the German authorities.
2) If the chocolate club comes to my house, I will serve the members using my Manner chocolate coffee cups from Vienna. Keep you eyes open there and you might score your own cups.
3) I think maybe Larry should consider co-opting attorney Jim Adler’s title as the “Texas Hammer.”
4) Be careful in Vienna. I have known tourists to get admonished by elderly ladies for walking against the traffic signals.
I have been calling Larry, the Texas Hammer and he likes it.
Joyce seems to be more of a trouble maker than previous trips.
OMGOSH the chocolate hollow tooth church–fitting name as that is what I would have after eating all that chocolate!
I just want to be sure that one does not have to choose between the chocolate club and the wine club … it’s a dual membership, right? I would have supported you on making the chocolate club bar, but would not have wanted to miss a wine club tasting.
We need a picture of Larry flashing his “badge”!
Wow! I love the pictures! So much chocolate! I bet you were in heaven!
Also, napoleon’s hat looks big enough to fit dads head! 🤣🤣
