We had a wonderful time in Berlin (or 'Little Bear', which is the origin of the name). This pic was taken in the old quarter, not far from our hotel in the former east Berlin, near Alexanderplatz. It was a beautiful small area of cobbled streets and old houses and full of character and colour. These fine looking fellows in the photo with me were outside a teddy bear shop selling the gorgeous hand made Steiff bears and collectable dolls - I had no idea they were so expensive! I just had to get my photo taken with them!
