On we go on our BBI Summer Tour 2008 through Brandenburg. We’re already quite a team and have an established routine for unpacking and packing everything up again. Our considerate driver has already brewed fresh coffee for us when we’re all ready to set off and he knows exactly what music to play to keep us happy. Great work, driver. If only Antonia and I could do as well on our camping trips.

Along our tour over the next two months we will be stopping off in seventeen places to introduce people to our Capital City Airport. By the time the tour is over, I will know Brandenburg pretty well – so many impressions, so many people, all those interesting conversations and eager questions about the BBI. Today, we’re off to Perleberg, the county town of Prignitz, a good 150 kilometres north-west of Berlin.

The show kicks off at 10 o’clock in the marketplace. Employment Minister Dagmar Ziegler (SPD) and Hans Lange (CDU), chairman of the district council, will be dropping by for a full low-down on the job engine BBI. And I will naturally be telling them and all the other citizens of the town about how my co-workers are going about building the terminal right now.

When my working day is done today, I’m going to treat myself to something very special: a visit to the vintage car and technology museum. This is THE place here in the region for techies – or so I’m told.
