Of course we du, it's not all work work work Pt II

Mrs B finally got married again and asked us all to attend a good old fashioned British knees up in the land of the rising sausage AKA his stag do, in Berlin.
Bratwursts, beer, cocktails (WTF) and more beer. Well what did you expect?

The Superman outfit was planned whilst the Border Guards hat and gas mask were bought on the way. The gas mask and hat raised an eyebrow when the grooms bag was searched for the flight home. Thankfully there was no explaining to do. Great sense of humour the Germans.
The stag do followed the "traditional recipe". However, what goes on tour........

The Trabant safari was good and provided the opportunity for a bunch of British idiots to drive very old cars with pre-hysteric gear boxes around the capital of the former GDR. Fantastic architecture, bad driving and a smell of two-stroke. As for two-stroke Superman went down a storm in the lap dancing club.

So this was at the end of week one of another block of three weeks training. Whilst it was still short of the planned 60 minute run I did manage a 35 minute run to the Brandenburg gate and back on Saturday morning much to the dismay of the other attendees but i didn't half feel better for it after.
