Briefly

During a quick visit to Berlin this weekend, I visited Charlottenburg Palace for the first time since I was 16, and wow, did they ever get some restoration work done. For a big pic spam, see here.

Also, having read the "Radiant Emperor" duology, I checked whether there is fanfiction, and indeed there is, like Rivers and Mountains, which takes the "character X after their death ends up back in time and has the chance to fix things (or not)" trope and runs with it in a compelling way.

Not actually having had chance to visit Charlottenburg is on my list of reasons I need to go back to Berlin.

It‘s a bit of a way if you‘re otherwise engaged in Berlin-Mitte, which is why I never went before in all those years. But definitely worth it, and also not as far as Potsdam.
