<p>Berlin is very doable. Germany is really a fun place to visit. We tagged on a visit to Sauerbrucken this summer after two weeks in Scotland and it was my son’s favorite part of the trip. He loved the landscape, he loved the food (except for the three star restaurant we took him to, and he admits that was quite an experience), and he loved the band that was the excuse for the side trip. We flew into Frankfurt which was just about an hour and half flight from London.</p>
<p>I occassionally have to go to Munich for the day on business. Leave about 7am. Return about 8pm. No problem. It isn’t that far. You can preatty much go anywhere in Europe from London in only a couple of hours (Moscow is maybe 3 hours at the extreme. Ditto Iceland).</p>
