Beset By Light Drizzle

The plan for Monday was to do more tourist stuff, but was hampered by rain.

Part of the Monday plan had been to go up the tower, but … I already know what clouds look like, and while the rain wasn’t bad enough that being outside was terrible, it did mean that inside options were preferred, so I spent the day doing a version of “What’s In This Building?” in Berlin.

Monday was the switching hotels day, from the Ibis Styles to the Park Inn, which meant I had to do something with my bag in the meantime, so I stashed it in a coin-op locker by a place called AlexOase, which seems to be going for a beach bar vibe.
In Berlin.
With Winter approaching.

And for the none of you who were wondering, I did try the pancake making machine at the hotel, and can report that it produces a small indifferent pancake that tastes a smidge undercooked.

Oh, and I tried for something arty & B&W for photos of the time zone clock thing; Man Being Crushed By Relentless Drizzle.

Eventually I could check in, and eventually the other ESRI UK folks arrived/finished pre-summit workshops, so we all met up & had dinner.

The hotel room has the shower as a part of the room, with an optional privacy curtain. That’s a new one on me.
