We left Warsaw for Berlin on Wed 24th, on a train this time. It took about 5.5 hours, stopping at a few main towns on the way. Straight through the border....scenery the same all the way - mainly cropping. The new main railway station in Berlin (finished 2006 - took 10 years to build) is just something to behold. It's nearly all glass, including the roof, so very light and bright inside. It's about 6 stories high.....trains going north & south are on the lowest level, then there's a couple of levels of shops (all sorts, including fashion shops), including the street level, and the east/west trains leave from the level above. No doubt there's a level for the metro/underground trains too, but we didn't use those, so don't know which one. We walked 10mins to our hotel in the 30 degree heat, which lasted all the time we were there. No air con in our room and after the first night (cooled down to 24) I asked for a fan, so that we could sleep !!! Couldn't leave the windows open as too much traffic noise.
