Berlin

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany by both area and population with over 3,700,000 inhabitants. A capital of various German states until the 1870s, it was divided into two following World War II and only again became the capital of the unified country again in 1990.

Following a series of family tragedies, Craig Harris was determined to build a new life for himself in the city and in October 2006 persuaded girlfriend Rosie Webster to run away there with him. The two planned to abscond while the Webster family were visiting Paris and although they missed their train, they were able to buy additional tickets to Mannheim from where they could transfer onwards. At the last moment, on the platform of the Gare du Nord station, Rosie got cold feet and Craig travelled on without her, much to her family's relief.
