The view from my "office"

[OZDUCK]

Was this where they kept Hess ?

No. The archways in my photo were the original military prison for Spandau. A new military prison a few Km down the road was opened in 1881 and that held Hess etc. It has since been demolished and a Shopping Centre built on the site.

Someone else's office parked in the way blocking the view from my office in Cairns. At least the car park view hasn't been blocked!

Words were had and the inconsiderate so and so has had to move on. Much better!

Even better at the Gardens there background music whilst I was there was military march music. I love it.

Sansouci Palace Potsdam



Built by Frederick the Great. No grand tombs for him. Here he is buried alongside his favourite dogs. The potatoes are a reminder of his "organising distribution of free seeds throughout his Kingdom with instructions on how to grow them. As a consequence, even when Prussia was on its knees during the Seven Years War (1756-1763), fighting against a coalition of French, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian troops, Prussian peasants were still able to escape disaster by eating potatoes."

There were times this week where I thought life was conspiring against me again. I'll see you this evening my gorgeous little princess.

It was a slow connection, so I can add more now, just prior to there we went to New Brighton Pier, big seagulls, looks like they drop clams against the concrete to get to the flesh.
I believe this area suffered badly from the quake. Some very nice expensive houses up the hill side.



View now back at the Novotel, 6am flight, sigh!
