We did quite some sightseeing this weekend! Brandenburg Gate and Gendarmenmarkt on Saturday and Botanical Gardens (with Halloween Celebrations) and Alexanderplatz today. You will find a couple of pictures in our Photo Album.
Hi XXX,
while the movers are doing a good job and on schedule I unfortunately have a big complaint about the hotel.
Generally spoken the hotel is not in a good shape. The table is unstable, the bathtub’s drain is clogged and there wasn’t enough dishes in our room for two much less for three. But we could live with that, not really a reason to complain (we asked for more dishes and we got additional ones).
But when we came to the hotel yesterday night they changed the door lock. As a result the whole room was covered with a fine layer of builder’s dust. Not only the kitchen and all our food (right behind the room door) but also the beds, all our luggage, the bathroom (our toothbrushes) and so on (I made a couple of pictures this morning you will find attached).
When I called the front desk I got the answer “I know (!!!!). There is nothing I can do. You can call the manager tomorrow morning at 9″. After two more calls his only solution was that we could pick up some new sheets. He wrote down my cell number and promised me a call from his manager this morning, but I have little hope in that.
I’m really upset (In fact I’m something else – even after sleeping a night over it, but that’s nothing you can put in writing). We went to the hotel to get out of the moving mess in our house and now have an even bigger mess in the hotel. I ccd XXX, maybe she can contact the hotel for a solution. The hotel seems unable and unwilling to me to put any effort in servicing their guests.

The movers have taken over the house. Two of them are working upstairs and two of them are wrapping up living room and kitchen. Photos will follow later today.

Our house is almost ready for the movers – only my office looks like it’s been hit by a bomb. We got rid of a lot of stuff but we still not quite sure how we will get the rest of it into a German sized house. Besides the fact that we do not have a house yet…
Big time! Went to the DMV today to deregister my car and they wanted to have my personalized plates back! To destroy them!
