Typical Wiki. We have one Berlin and one New Berlin. I had to look it up to find the Berlin. Some of my relatives once lived near New Berlin, so I knew that one.

Even flights from airports such as Toulon are booked full until Wednesday, unless they have stopped accepting bookings and will open the floodgates tomorrow. M http://cannes-or-bust.com/ |
