A Day of Reflection in Berlin part 2

I arrived in Berlin with details of a couple of hostels, provided by mission control at home.
The one that I was sent to was fully booked , but referred me to one just around the corner.
This looked more like a hotel than a hostel. Set in an old brewery complex that changed to a chocolate factory and is now in separate units.
It has only been in operation 18 months and includes a bar and breakfast facilities.
Variety of accomodation too, from shared dorms to twin bedded en suite facilities.
Shared accomodation was a very affordable 15€.
After a comfortable sleep in an almost totally soundproofed room, I came down to coffee at 1€.
Spent the day on the internet and thought I would try an alternative bike I found on e-bay. While hanging around waiting for the auction to finish, I got talking to Wolfbert the MD of the place.
The result was that the magnificent Wolfbert offered me accommodation in his 'hut' in North Berlin. He told me he had a garden with trees and a wooden dwelling which he called a hut.
He drove me out there and we pulled into a street with a corner garden of tall pine trees, which was his home.
What a fantastic place to live. He had a pond and a very large chiminea which we lit and discussed all things east and west over a couple of beers. The hut was a wooden dwelling fully fitted with electricity and plumbing with an enormous fireplace. Bedroom was completely windowed and being totally secluded had no need for blinds or curtains.
What a view to wake to in the mornings.
We returned to the hostel and Wolfbert again demonstrated his generosity by finding and address of a bike repairers in the vicinity who's owner Wolfbert vaguely knows.
I am off there to get advice before doing any work.
While waiting I did some tests on the bike and found one cylinder is less efficient than the other and when removing alternate plugs the good cylinder was quieter.
Replacing the plugs the engine was considerably quieter than the before which leads me to believe it is no more than a sticking valve and if so is more easily repaired than a camshaft repair.
I have another invitation to stop over at Wolfberts tonight and if the engine is sorted then Russia just may be back on.
