Corfe Castle
Wow, that fossil …. worth exploring.
Extraordinarily was a new wor[[s]l]d to me! Enjoy! Sure you will visit this place a few times more in the future!?

Visited the memorial to Otto Lilienthal. I wonder how well known he is in the non-German speaking world. A pioneer of aviation, he much inspired the brothers Wright with his motor-less contraptions that took him flying for shorter distances (obviously).
The hill on which today his memorial rests was put there by himself, as a starting base from which to set off. I rather like the flying saucer style roof, and the general set-up of the place has something distinctly Japanese, I find, with the many (not yet blossoming) cherry trees. So a big nod to the home of our beloved denim as well, combining two of my great passions, jeans and aviation.

On my way from there, an opportunity for a little riddle for you all.
In which movie, set in Berlin, does this building play a central role?
-
Who doesn’t love water slides??? Pretty epic scenery too

@henry_david here's a safe for work non-double-entendre sign for work for you that I can also share with everyone else.

@Filthy – lol I appreciate the effort expended making that sticker

It was highly effective because I climbed that ladder 9 times last night and did not smash my head or crush my neck.

Lolll… whereabouts in the world are you now?

I am on my couch

Snuggling with a cat or two?

Due to the overwhelming (ahem…) reaction to my little riddle, here's the solution :
It's "One, Two, Three", a marvel of a movie set in Berlin just before the Wall went up, and actually torpedoed in the production because it did.
The building in question was the real Coca Cola filling factory at the time, long since moved elsewhere. Fun fact: the elevator does not exist in that building. It's ground floor door is a fake, it's first floor then filmed in the studio. Sharp eyes will note that the elevator is on the wrong side of the stairs there...
One of my favourite movies, a strong recommendation for those who don't yet know it.Kudos to @Aetas for getting it totally right.

Thanks a lot, endo. My friend with whom I went to the building a good week ago actually worked in the very building years ago when it still was Coca Cola (and one can see a Coke sign on the door still today). How the film crew faked the lift with a door and a blind was legendary among the staff and often recounted among them.

We bought a puppy yesterday! And it’s perhaps the worst situation lol. On vacation with 3 kids. And our drive home is 16 hours! [emoji2361] but we love the little guy! So hopefully it will be worth it [emoji1694]
His name from the pet store is George… I think it’s cute but the rest of my family wants to re name him. So any suggestions are appreciatedSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
