Arrival in Berlin

Arrived in Berlin on schedule. First order of business — after checking into our hotel — a bus tour, to get a feel for the layout of the city.

Empty Train

We’re on our way! Apparently the 6h25 to Köln isn’t very popular, since we’re almost alone in our carriage.

Ardennes Hike

We’re not usually this anti-social, but the train is quite empty, and the overhead luggage racks on these trains are really too narrow for anything bigger than a handbag. Seated near a power outlet, 1h50 on the train to go!

Back to Glasgow

Starting with a last breakfast at Molmeg Cottage, we spent most of Sunday in DRT’s, buses and trains — and an hour in Perth — travelling back from Balquhidder to Glasgow.
After an early arrival and checkin in our hotel for the last night, we had dinner at one of the newest smoke and barbecue places of Glasgow: Smoak. We can’t wait until this food trend reaches Brussels!
Since our last visit to the city, some more new places opened, so we quickly visited the Hippo Taproom and Shilling Brewing Co. as well, before saying our goodbyes — and drink a couple of great beers — at BrewDog Glasgow.

On Monday, we had breakfast at Where the Monkey Sleeps and a quick round of geocaching, before boarding our train to London.
There we went to the Basement Bar of BottleDog Kings X, but they seem to have misplaced their taps… Not a problem though, plenty of choice in their fridges!
The Eurostar was on time this time, which means we were in our Brussels home again before midnight.
