We left the flat at 10:30 on Saturday morning and wound up at our shuttle stop 20 minutes early, so we were able to catch the 11:07 Air Coach to the airport. We got through security in record time, so we stopped to shop a bit and then grabbed a bite to eat. Theresa had potatoes and peas, and Ray had a cajun chicken panini with a bowl of tomato soup, with potato chips on the side. Theresa had leftover potatoes and stored them in the potato chip bag, it worked quite well.
Our flight took us through Heathrow, where we had our first pleasant experience at that airport, getting through the lines quickly. Unfortunately, the flight to Berlin was dreadful with a smoker sitting quite near us and the worst turbulence we'd ever experienced. It got all better as soon as we landed and were greeted at the airport by Arun and Frances! They took us to our hotel and then out to Thai for dinner. The Thai place was amazing, with the most intricate flower-shaped vegetables we'd ever seen. We're trying to stay optimistic and say that they shape the vegetables individually for each plate, but if they do, they need to re-evaluate proper use of their time! Afterwards, Frances and Arun took us on a gorgeous walk around Berlin at night, along the river Spree.
