This is what we did after leaving Teufelsberg.

       TEUFELSBERG

       My old pal Fred Ganim was in town for a few days, so we decided to go

       on a bit of a trek out to Teufelsberg, which is German for Devil's Mountain.

       It's an artificial hill built from the rubble of Berlin after WW2. 

       The site used to be a listening station for the US National Security Agency

       during the Cold War.

       There is a fence to keep people out, although on Saturdays (the day we went)
       there are sanctioned tours which cost €15 per head.

 Mein Schatz and Freddy.

       We eventually ran into some trouble when a security guard (right)

       spotted Freddy (left) without an authorised tour pass. 

       The three of us were escorted out of the place and told to be thankful

       they didn't call the police. We were thankful we didn't have to pay the €15.

       FEEDBACK

       Flexing my consumer-muscle (with no real outcome aside from general venting).

       A Rimowa suitcase review I stumbled upon.
       The Rimowa company's offer of assistance makes me feel like a peasant
       with my drawn out dealings with Samsonite.

       I do give good feedback when it is warranted.
