After the thunderstorm friday evening, Berlin was heating up again on Saturday. So to go to the Hospitality Club beach camp was the thing to do. Holger met me around noon and took me and his friend by car to Grünau. Big surprise: The camp was almost empty! Everybody had gone downtown to Berlin center for the world's biggest hugging session at Alex. We enjoyed a few quiet hours with about a hundred others, if that, reading, chatting, swimming. Early in the evening, they started coming - lots of them. Around 1000 had subscribed, quite a huge friendly crowd. Enjoy more pics here and here! And Maikel's pics with Lari f. e. here!
So many of the people I had met last year were there. Some I had known about they would come and was sure to see them, but some I was astonished to bump into: the guy from Venezuela I know from Riga, f. e., and Lucy from chat.
Lari and Evecooper I did not meet yesterday, Maikel either. Nor Patrick. Hopefully I will today at the Karneval parade.
I left when the rain and the band started, by tram and train to Berlin station to collect my new glasses. Wow, didn't they look great! I'll have to have a picture taken today to show you.
And now off again to a day of sun and rainy spells at the Karneval der Kulturen! Looking smashing with my new lime yellow spectacles! :)
