Dear Gran
Here is Julie and her australian colleagues Maria and Robert on Pfauen Insel (peacock island) in Wannsee near Potsdam. It cost one euro to get to the island by ferry - but Julie wanted to know once we got there - how much does it cost to get back? There are peacocks (mostly in cages) along with cockatoos and rosellas (no budgies). The small island is dotted with mock ruins from the late 18th century to decorate the summer getaway of King Friedrich Wilhelm III. The island has a World Heritage Listing, which makes me think that Kryal Castle on the road to Ballarat should also apply for listing. We also went with Maria and Robert to see The Messiah performed in Potsdam - it was a wonderful performance on a freezing long winters night. love from Brendan
