Yesterday we went to Hamburg to visit Ellen which was lots of fun. And last week we went to Hannover to see the sights. Before I start I'm gonna let Tom have his very own paragraph, and then I'll fill in the gaps.
5am is a hideous hour to be awake at, but the train trip allowed us to catch up on the missing hours of precious sleep. I also managed to catch up a bit in front of the lake, and later while being pulled around the harbour and canals by the girls. Other than sleeping, we walked around both the altstadt and neustadt Hamburg, visiting lots of old chuches, the rathaus (town hall) and Germanys largest harbour, which had as many fat old men shouting at you to take their tour boat around the harbour as big tanker ships. Checked out the Reeperbahn, famous for its..... ummm... nightlife and cinemas...
And finally headed back to Ellens place. For about 5 mins, then we where on the road again and inito the canals. It seems every Tom, Dick and his dog was on the water, either paddling and drinking round the large lakes, floating amd drinking in the small lakes, or buying beer from the canal cafe... and drinking.
Hamburg was great, we're going back soon to visit Ellen again!
I'm impressed with how well written that was for Tom. Well done. He got most of the important bits. I really loved Hamburg - the architecture was all beautiful and the canals make it unlike other cities we've seen. (Plus there were ducks and geese and swans everywhere!) We also made sure to eat hamburgers (in Hamburg). The best of the new photos are up and there are even more on Facebook.
Our day in Hannover the other day was pretty similar - looking at the pretty buildings and churches, visiting the ducks, having a look at the shops. Our next travel plan is to visit Blaise in Switzerland and then drive back up to Germany via Italy - pretty exciting!
Love always from Germany
