Heading home

Last day in berlin was brutal: 97 degrees! They don't have aircon anywhere, so we had to suffer through it. It was also a Sunday and the city shuts down except for a few corner stores. We found one with cold drinks, parked ourselves on a bench outside, and spent the day reading and trying to beat the heat. Its hot in turkey too. Gezi park is free of protests, so we've been relaxing there and doing a little last min shopping. For stirring up so much drama, the park is surprisingly small and uneventful, mostly children playing and people taking naps.  No pics, it's been hot, so I've been leaving my camera bag at the hostel.
We fly home in the morning. According to Sunni's fuel band we walked at least 240 miles this trip, and I read 8 books! Another great summer in the bag.

As always it has been a pleasure following your varied, albeit poop-storyless travels around the world.
Have a safe trip home.
