No night train to Berlin :-(

I’m taking a trip to Berlin next week for a conference. I had entertained the romantic (and eco-friendly) notion of taking a night train from London via Brussels to Berlin. My task for this morning was to tie up all the travel and accomodation for the trip, and I hit a snag. While the trip out was actually cheaper for the train than for flying plus a hotel, the flight back was so much more expensive, particularly including the journey home from the airport, that it didn’t make sense So, no night train and “no frills” flights all round… but at least I get to spend to two nights in Berlin, not far from the site of the wall, near the Sonnenallee checkpoint.

Hopefully it will be a great conference, and also give a little time for site-seeing
