It was great to be back in Berlin for the first time in many years - I first spent a summer there as a teenage runaway in the Eighties, and remember when things got so tight I had to sell a litre of my blood for 40 Deutschmarks (I still have the receipt somewhere). I wonder how much a litre would be worth now…

There are two galleries in this post, one of my recent visit and the second of some of the very well-preserved old cars that can be seen all over Berlin. Click any image to enter a slideshow.

I couldn’t help noticing how many beautiful, well-preserved old cars were on the streets. A benefit of being far from the sea, I guess…
