Harald Thieman, percussionist and our host…the drums were in the dark, so no pictures of his beautiful set and random objects…

(Thanks Jason Ponce, for taking the above two photographs)
The day after the gig, I took another full-on tourist day…Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, Unter den Linden, Alexander Platz and Neuköln.
Getting off the train at Prenzlauer Berg and asked the question we all want to know the truth about.
My destination (tip from Roy Carroll) was Benjowski Tea, truly fantastic tea shop. Despite the proprietor’s immense dislike of Pu-erh, she had a lovely selection, of which I did make a purchase.

Should’ve read the news, got off in the middle of the Marathon…!
