When I was there it was West Berlin, and the wall was an actual defensive wall where east met west, with both sides claiming that it was to keep the other side out and both having an opposing super power backing them up. Even as a naive 16 YO I was very aware of this. Not sure that this would be evident much today, but it certainly was back then. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | On a related note, where would people recommend around end of November time for a long weekend? Ideally not somewhere that is ridiculously cold or rainy. I went to Marrakech in December a few years ago and the weather there was pretty pleasant tbh, cold at nights though. | ||

Cold in Winter? shocker! Anywhere mate. It's offseason, go where you want. Could get lucky or unlucky with weather. Barcelona, always. | ||

Just came back from Amsterdam on sunday. Loved it! Wouldn't necessarily say the flights were cheap though - is there such thing anymore? | ||

So not really! I think the "offseason" for Cyprus flight for the rest of this year is about 6 days spread over a month. It changes every year depending on all sorts of stuff, and a lot of it has to do with student academic years, half terms, that sort of thing. | ||

Could get lucky or unlucky with weather. Barcelona, always. Barcelona seems like a very good bet having looked at the weather for then - actually looks warm. Never been there either. Thinking either there or Athens. | ||
