Stern Hotel Hamburg

... shoot with the bottles but totally forgot.<br><br>Our last night in Hamburg (a Tuesday night I believe) we decided to go to the Red Light District. The RLD in Hamburg is the second biggest in Europe which is correlated with the size of their port. The rule with RLD's is that the bigger the port a city has, the more strippers and prostitutes they have. This is due to the lonely sailors and ship navigators who go into the ...

... full of vegetation. I really do love the country side in the countries I have been to. I was much surprised about the ferry ride that was also a part of this train trip. First we crossed this awesome bridge and then we actually pulled onto a boat. The train tracks went straight on the boat and after it stopped we all got out and went top side for a 45 min ride across the channel. This was a pretty cool surprise. It was my third boat trip of my travels.

... boats but the view was pretty. It got windy on top of the boat so I eventually moved downstairs. Then we had 2 hours to walk around again. Took a quick look at the Reeperbahn and then Wendy, Soth, Steve and I went somewhere else. We found a huge statue of Otto von Bismark which was basically hidden from view due to the trees surrounding it. Then we walked through a park where most of the museums are located and ...

... are blending together but when I left the church I saw one of those hot air balloons in the sky that rises and lowers on a cable and I headed that way. I got my ticket for the ride and had an hour wait so I was able to pop into an art museum sale that was being held next door and check out some really cool stuff. After leaving the museum I was able to go up into the balloon. It was an amazing sight around the city. I ...

... later on I stopped by again and got a Pferdewurst - also yumm!!<br><br>Thursday did a walking tour of Hamburg with New Europe. The tour is free and you just tip your guide how much you think it was worth. Went for 3 hours and was a very good tour covering old and new aspects of the city - definitely worth doing.<br>Went back and checked out the new philharmonic hall and St Nikolai memorial in more detail and took the lift to the top of the St Nikolai memorial ...

... kann sind wir schon recht tief und passieren gerade das Planetarium im Stadtpark, der leider nicht von Sonnenbadenden und Grillprofis bevoelkert wird, sondern vielmehr in einen grauen Schleier aus Regen und Wolken gehuellt ist.<br>Trotz meiner wieder mal negativ ausfallenden Anflugsprognose (oh Gott, wir muessen bestimmt durchstarten!) und zum Wohl von Ninas Oberschenkel kriegt der Pilot die Landung bei diesem Unwetter gut hin. <br>Das Gepaeck ...

... well bex said that its not as explicit as amsterdam it is supposed to be the largest redlight district in europe! was definately an eyeopener, with innocent seeming ads actually showing graphic sex positions!! one more day till we get to start sailing, really looking forward to hitting the water, but hoping that its going to get a whole lot warmer!!! having a great time, still missing home though and not getting any study done

... been photo worthy. We watched and commented on Herräng photos for over an hour and I even starred in one. I felt famous. By the end I was falling asleep, having only slept a few hours in the last 36, so Fabian woke me up with a dance and we headed home. Unfortunately, my good luck ran out here as we ended up waiting a good half hour plus in the cold for different buses and trains to get home. When we got home, Arne was there and we chatted briefly before I passed ...

... I was interested in knowing what the going rate was (just a funny fact to know) and I was kind of drunk, so I started talking to one of the prostitutes, she said the rate is 50 Euros (about 63 US) for 30-40 minutes of "normal sex". I should have probed her with more ridiculous questions such as "whats abnormal sex" or even more crazy questions, but I ended it with trying to get her to touch my boob (I was drunk). She didn't go for it.
