Just round the corner from World Cafe was the shopping centre, Europa Passage. On the floors were the names of various European cities. This felt like the Paris Europe thing all over again. Yet it was no joke.
Money was fast running out, time was ticking and they now had a train ticket to Berlin but with nowhere to stay there. They played the lottery scratch cards and then put all hope on the Wednesday night lottery, knowing that on Thursday morning their train left for Berlin.
Was it a passage to Europe or a cruel joke?
With all this going on, they wandered around the markets, took a walk down the Reeperbahn and to the harbour area where the water at night really seemed significant and somehow necessary to be around again.
During this time the rainbow appeared for them again. Going down the stairs in the hotel, one day Dave spotted a painting on the wall with a rainbow on it. Then sitting at the computer at reception trying to find a place to stay in Berlin, the song 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' was playing on the radio in the background. This song would follow them around, appearing at auspicious occasions.
