What a day!!! After a long flight, I arrived in Berlin. Sadly, my luggage didn't, so I spent five hours at the airport in various baggage offices trying to locate my bag (one such office is pictured above) I still don't have my bag 12 hours later, but I have been told it should be delivered within the hour.
I arrived at my air bnb in Mitte around 1:30 or 2 pm. My host was lovely and made me a cup of tea. I had to wait on word from the airline so I couldn't stray too far and I was so exhausted, so I slept a bit. The airline called around 5 pm to tell me they would deliver my bag later this evening.
I went for a walk to Pariser Platz and saw the holocaust memorial, which is about a 15 minute walk from where I'm staying, before heading back to grab some dinner. There are some charming little places to eat just down the street from where I'm staying. I didn't get a chance to try authentic German food because I had to rush back to be there for my luggage, but I will get something tomorrow.
My luggage just arrived and I have never been so happy to see a suitcase in my life.
I'll post pictures from the day - ignore how exhausted I look. ;)

Ron Beyaert Glad to hear that your luggage finally arrived! So you made it to the Brandenburg gate. Did you see the bricks in the road on the other side that marked the boundary between east and west Berlin? The Holocaust Memorial is kind of neat but very strange. Hope you get some sleep and have a great day tomorrow!! Dad
