Thanks Bad Tölz

All the decorations are in the stores, the decorations and lights are starting to appear in the streets, and the giant snow tube ride is being constructed at Potsdamer Platz (YIPPEE, our favourite) It is getting dark by 4.30pm here. 
Today the Christmas tree on the Ku'damm was being delivered! Here it is in front of the Gedächtnis-Kirche, preparing to be lifted by a crane.  

The sign on the tree translates to the Bad Tölz (a region in Bavaria, Germany) grew this tree to reach the sky for the Berlin people. The large ropes hanging down on the left of the church, are attached to a huge crane. I will be looking forward to seeing how they decorate it.

Bad Tölz is way up in the Alps (and near the Austrian border) - that's why they're growing trees for the people of Berlin way up in the sky/heavens. :)
