May Day in Berlin

May Day in Berlin's Kreutzberg district was blessed with stunning warm weather (25C). There was no trouble, mainly due to the heavy Polizei presence, unlike the previous night, which is called Valpurgisnacht in Germany, when the Far-Left went on a violent and destructive rampage, with many injuries suffered. This blogger enjoyed a few cool beers at the Myfest festival. It was like the sixties, with lots of Neo-Hippies, and no sign at all of Neo- Nazis, who usually show themselves on May Day to counter the left wing demos. By the way, if one looks closely at the larger version of the shot of the bambino's cyclo-pram, it can be seen that it is equipped with disc-brakes. Even Hippie transport evolves through the decades. What a great day!
