Dave usually received royalty payments from the music around this time of year. For the last few years they had been coming in. Perhaps both of them were counting on it too much this time. On Tuesday, a few days into their stay, he discovered the payment he'd received was much lower than usual and certainly not enough to get them anywhere after this week.
Straight after leaving MacBeams they stopped off at a nearby bäkerei. Bob Marley's 'Buffalo Soldier' was playing as they entered.
It was a blow but never affected them too much. They had been through this scenario enough times now to not be phased by it. More than anything they were simply curious to see what would happen now.
The following day on turning up at the MacBeam internet cafe Kate received an email from Will. Some money had come his way unexpectedly and he had passed it onto Dave & Kate. It would keep this Europe thing alive for another week.
By now Dave & Kate were sure it was either Vienna or Dresden next. Vienna felt more powerful, they knew they must get there soon but for some reason it seemed like they had to go to Dresden first. They had never been before and knew little of the place. By the end of the week they had a train ticket for Dresden and a hotel there booked for 7 nights.
Berlin had done its work on them. On the Saturday, their last full day in Berlin, they spent some time at the internet point using up their remaining credit. Kate felt a strong urge to start looking up and enquiring about apartments in Vienna for 1 month's stay after Dresden. They only had enough money to see them through the week in Dresden. As she was going downstairs to exit the internet place wondering why the hell she was looking into apartments in Vienna when they had no money this sign jumped out at her...
That night Dave and Kate felt very powerful energies working through them. It felt as if there was an exchange of energy between them and Berlin, that these energies were being brought out and established for the future and what is to take place there.
The next morning as they left the apartment and walked down to the nearby Ostkreuz train station, Dave turned and looked straight at some graffiti. It simply said "I love you". While they were waiting on their train at Ostkreuz and Dave was mentioning this to Kate, she turned and saw the following message...
So the struggle from West to East was overcome. The map below shows the journey through the city. The letter 'A' being their starting point of Citadines, the letter 'H' being their final apartment and the letter 'I' being the Ostkreuz train station they left Berlin from. The red line shows where The Wall once stood.
