Hello, just a quick post to show you a picture of me hanging out with my two friends, Carolyn and Emilia. We try to get together every Wednesday afternoon for a chat and a cup of coffee (or kinder tea). Here we are at our favourite cafe.

Berlin Wall
Well, you won't believe it, but I have another capital city to add to my list of places I've visited! This time it's Berlin.
Mama and Dada and I went for 4 days last weekend. It is a pretty exciting city, I can tell you, and there was lots to see. It was very cold when we were there though, always in the minuses, so we didn't stay outside very long at a time.
Here I am with Dada next to part of the Berlin Wall. It's the longest bit left of the wall now, and it's called the East Side Gallery because lots of artists have painted pretty pictures on it.

Checkpoint Charlie
Here is me and Mama at Checkpoint Charlie, a famous site from when the Berlin Wall was still up.
But it is famous for another reason now too. My hair caught on fire at a restaurant there!
I was leaning across a table to reach something and ended up too close to a candle. All of a sudden, my hair went up in flames! Dada yelled some words I hadn't heard before and Mama came running at me, hitting me in the side of the head to put out the fire. As you can imagine, I was a bit surprised at all the fuss but I didn't cry or anything.
Luckily I have lots of hair, so you can't even notice the burnt bits now. I have to admit they smelled pretty bad though.

Green Ampelmann
One thing I really liked in Berlin were the little men that tell you when it's safe to cross the street and when it's not. They are very different to ones I've seen before. Apparently they are only in East Germany. Here's the green man, he has a little hat and a big walking step.
Red Ampelmann
Here is the man that tells you to stop. He's got a funny hat too and he sticks his hands straight out. Don't you think he's cute?
