Soooo, nach dem erfolgreich überstanden Jahreswechsel folgt hier der erste Eintrag in meinen kleinen Reisebericht. Silvester in Hamburg war anstrengend aber schön. Nach einem turbulenten Weihnachtsfest zuhause mit der Familie hab ich mich am 31. Dezember um 7:15 Uhr in den Zug Richtung Hannover gesetzt und nach einem kurzen Zwischenstopp in mein...

Landed in Frankfurt around 11am German time which was March 2011 USA
time for all I knew. I navigated my way through the enormous airport to
find my gate for the next flight and meet my colleague who drove over
from Holland. We flew to Hamburg and got there around 4pm.

Checked into the hotel, ran through some work emails, and wen...

We got up at a decent hour and went to the city to walk around some more. The Christmas market opened at 12pm so we venture back over to that area to check them out. It was amazing!! It is basically a large square that is filled with small booths in the style of old half-timber German houses selling good quality fine arts and crafts. Wood carvin...

I took the 5:20 am train from Braunschweig to the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. Then I had to take the Straβenbahn to the airport to find Pam. I went to the arrivals and then to our "meeting point" which was the entrance to the S-bahns. I walked to the area and almost missed her! I was so excited to see her that I cried. It was just so good to see ...

So as many of you know, I basically sat down a few months ago and made a place of the places that I wanted to see. I didn't write any notes to indicate to myself why I wanted to go to these various places. So next I had written Hamburg. I couldn't remeber why, but I trusted myself and hopped on the train.

I got here and got super lost al...

My friends Jason and David went with me on a whirlwind tour of Northern Germany. We left work at noon on Friday (our advisors don't really mind. they are happy that we are exploring) for the 6 hour train ride to Hamburg. We visited the harbor first. Hamburg is located on the Elbe River that feeds into the North Sea, making it a very accessible ...

Guten Tag from Hamburg Germany. I left oncomming chill of the north for the oncomming rains of the south yesterday. Taking 1 Train, 1 plane, 3 busses and a minor miracle to get here. Total travel time 7 hours. Here is my acount: I made it onto the plane and into Hamburg with no problems. The Ryan air receptionist checked my passport just as an i...

Hello everyone from Germany. Where the computer keyboards are so different from Canada that I am having trouble adjusting so this might be a short one. We left Groningen and took the train here to Hamburg. We met to girls on the train that were from Germany and thez traveled the WHOLE way with us chatting about Canada and Germany. They were quit...

Making it to Germany was very exciting for me. I had taken three years of German and had never got to use it outside of the classroom. Once there I impressed myself, I got us a cheap hotel room near the train station (this was just an overnight stop on our way to Denmark) and went and found some excellent German food. This is where the trip star...
