Liking your itinerary.

Off to the Spreewald this morning for a boat ride and gherkins. It is going to be 33 C in Berlin today so bit of water will be nice.

Trip planning is my full time profession. I have been retired for 16 years now thanks to the good old Defined Benefits CSS Scheme and those years of multi digit super returns in the early 2000's.

From Berlin we go to Poznan and do a loop with our last night in Europe being in Kopenick.

If you get anywhere near Drezdenko (Driesen in Prussian times) can you post a photo please.

Downside, our fight to Brisbane is delayed and is showing as arriving at the same time our connecting flight to Canberra is departing. Upside, we might extend our holiday by a day with a night in Brisbane.

It seems extremely unlikely but I will keep it in mind.
