A lovely harbour

Hamburg is such a lovely place. The weather was great when we were there - nothing like clear blue skies, white clouds, the smell of the seawater and seeing birds flying all over to make one feel really relaxed.

One reason why I wanted to head on here was that my mother visited Hamburg in the 1960s. Needless to say, she was thrilled to bits looking at the photos taken there :-)

Also, I was intrigued by Paul's (VTer Guantanamera) seemingly teasing Hamburg page ~ I just had to come here :-p Hanging out at the Reeperbahn & St Pauli area during the day and night was really fun. Dodgy characters, party people, horny customers, drunken kids, curious onlookers (ie : me) there makes it a really lively place at night.

What I experience in Hamburg :

** Swans gliding quietly by
** Lots of people enjoying the sun and breeze
** A huge football in middle of the square
** Walks in Reeperbahn .. day and night
** The coldest night "ever" for me
** Eating fish sandwiches
** Enjoying ice cream in the park
** Taking many evening and night photos
** Stumbling unto Finnegans'
** Bells tolling every quarter hour
** More to come ..

    Ah, great tips on my ex-hometown! I love the picture of the old Elbtunnel - and of course that of the Jungfernstieg sign: this is where I used to work! Glad you enjoyed your stay!

    I am glad you had a nice time in Germany, but shame on you for missing Munich. Another lovely city in Bavaria. Next time for sure. Thanks for the tips and photos. Bye. Bill.
