information wants to be free - travelling
-we left glasgow on the 7.30am train to ayr, the morning of friday the 5th of december. the train line goes through prestwick airport, where we were catching a flight to stansted in london. sometime was killed here, but pretty much it was a process of checking our bags in right away and getting through to the departure floating around zone till it was time to fly.
-stansted airport is a long walk from arrival, along corridors, down stairs, up stairs, along more corridors. this leads to baggage reclaim, and luckily in this instance to checking our bags straight back in again so that we are sorted for going through to departure. where we grabbed lunch in wetherspoon's windmill restaurant, one of those places where you order at the bar and they mishear your table number so you end up with only 20 minutes to eat before your next flight. or was that just us? bemusingly and unexpectedly as we come out of the windmill we bump into dave dando moore from detritus, who is coincidentally on the same flight - the name calling started around then.
-it was the back of 5 by the time we arrived in berlin itself. with a projected doors opening time of 9pm. so from schonefeld we worked out what trains to get - the zoological gardens line to ostbahnof, then wartenburg line to springful. checking into the etap hotel and back out again to frankfurter allee and looking for the venue. we found the venue about 9ish, but still hadn't eaten, so we wandered back to a little chinese/thai place we had spotted while looking.
