Monday 30th August

We didn’t make the Tiergartens. I (Adrian) have developed a bit of a chest infection so we went to the doctors. All went well and we proceeded to the apothakerie to have the scripts filled. We gave the scripts to the lady at the computer desk and she checked to ensure that they had all the drugs required. When she was sure they did, she hit the return key and they all popped out a chute near the computer. The whole thing – doctors and chemists cost less than it would have cost in Oz. It also poured with rain for most of the day and after the doctors we didn’t leave our room at the hotel till nearly 12. We left our large bags there and wandered through the town in the intermittent rain. We wandered through shops and visited various Koffee places.
We eventually went to the station and caught the correct train (not the train to Castro Valley – see earlier blog entries). This train unfortunately does not have wifi like the last train so will post it tomorrow if I can. We managed to the train up to 199 kph. The birthday girl had a number of calls and text messages and she started celebrating yesterday (as it was her birthday in OZ. She advises that she will continue celebrating tomorrow as it will be her birthday in the USA).Thanks for all the birthday calls. I had a lovely day. We had to have coffees and pastries and other yummy food.
