Orpheus, the underworld and wallace and gromit

I cannot believe that my time here is nearly over. I have had a wonderful time exploring different parts of this multi faceted city, avoiding the tourist haunts as much as possible.
Since my last entry time has passed at a seemingly vastly increased rate. Monday was spent mainly in bed and then at the local park where as soon as we sat down on our orange velvet balnket the heavens opened and we had to seek shelter under some trees as we played with the playdou that we had bought. The reason Monday was spent sleeping was to an evening of continuous dancing on the reggae ship to which we are returning this evening. After a long day on Sunday the last thing I wanted to do was to go out dancing. So we set off from the flat I felt deflated and wore what looked like a ensemble of my favourite pjamams. We boarded the boat at about middnight and then left at 5am. We danced to the incesently happy music in the green, red and yellow lights under the haze of smoke.
Tuesday was spent in the underworlds! We took a tour of the air raid shelters under the city. The tour guide's skin was pale and almost translucent he took joy in turning off the lights and speaking in empassioned tones. It was interesting for me to reconsider my thoughts on the war. Here was a place where people had died, people had cowered in the darkness listening to the explosions over head and unable to move or breathe deeply. They were just as innocent as those who across the sea cowered in the underground as bombs rained down on their city.
In the evening we went to a tiny theatre, the English theatre of Berlin, where we saw Orpheous decending by Tennesse Williams. It was a great production that kept us discussing into the night over home made hot chocolate.
Last night we once again visited B flat jazz club where we shared cocktails and wrote in the glow of a candle. We watched two young saxophonists smiling and happy take to the stage and wow us with their passion and seemingly inate ability.
Sorry to end so abrutbly but I must be off.

I send you all huge amounts of love
