One last hotel breakfast at Propeller Island City Lodge, then we continued the tradition we started in Amsterdam: going our separate ways for a few hours the morning before we leave. As in Amsterdam, I went shopping while my dad went in search of photo opportunities. This time his search led him to the German version of Home Depot. isn't that a snapshot of the two of us? I’m looking at books and sportswear while he’s looking at tools.
We met back at the hotel at 11:15 a.m. and checked out. Then, on our last S-Bahn journey in Berlin, I had my pocket picked. Lovely. Oh well. Our train to Frankfurt didn’t leave until 4:30 p.m., so we had to kill about 4 hours at the train station. We found a nice little spot in the food court area and camped out for a while. 4 more hours were killed on the train, for me partly by grading papers. At the Frankfurt train station, we grabbed some quick dinner, then took our penultimate S-Bahn ride of our trip to the Niederrad station. A short walk later, we checked into our hotel for the night, and my dad is currently watching a German show about the tsunami.
That reminds me—the weather for the trip has been about as good as we could hope. There were a few showers this morning, and the brief downpour yesterday while we ate dinner, but otherwise it was clear and in the 50s pretty much the whole time.
