... (continued)

The return trip included a short vacation around Rostock and then all down to Berlin (East). Rostock is a show with its beaches on the Baltic Sea continued wind beats the North and that is equipped with deckchairs decapottabili incredible (it was like being on a beach in Two Horses). Logistical problems, however, put to the test of our tempers spoiled western: two days to make one tank of gasoline. I am not exaggerating, we had to leave the car parked at night to do the job in the queue. And two days would not be enough if we had not given the cash fund to bribe a local driver kindly local who has left his post (yes, our costumes were increasingly Failure). What is more in those days a sudden shortage of bread hit the area resulting in rationing and interminable queues for the food ... and our little inevitable glorious flight to Berlin. Customs event that there is almost cost the life (but since I put down hard?). There were beautiful serene that we did check visa and passport from the serious and formalissimo Vapoz when suddenly the rear window of Fiat explodes with a shot that seemed to all that of a rifle. The young soldier who attended our Vapoz has paved the miter but fortunately everything was back when it was realized that the explosion was due only to a thermal bump. Morale: the rest of the holiday on the rear window with cellophane and unseemly image of tourists do it yourself the heel. Despite all that we can reach Berlin and enjoy the last days of a reality that will shortly collapse saw the wall that separated from its western part. Passed to the west is a hot climate. I remember a very active city from a cultural point of view and the feeling of being with his feet on a burner turned on. A few months after the wall was knocked down in one of the most significant moments of the last century.
