Hamburg

Hellloooo Everyone from Australia, Holland and beyond - although I have named the 2 most important countries in the world so who cares about the others'.

A lazy 250,000 euro for a year...and Hamburg came 8th!


No no, we left Denmark after a long morning in - and headed to a bunker along the west coast of Denmark - apparently part of the Atlantic sea wall defence or something.  We got there too late (due to some website misreading/mistake on the website - haven't bothered to look again, and it was about to close. So we wasted time pretty much. We were then going ot hamburg, we are staying with Wilton and Claudia - a couple from hamburg (one from gemany, one from the UK) funnily enough the same town that Andrew's parents were born!! Rochdale for anyone who was wondering (small world hey..) We got there a little late, but we were greeted to a nice dinner of chilli and rice mmmm. ( I love home cooked meals more than ever now) and then we went to bed after having a chat with Wilton. Bad night for me though, getting/am sick now and was a horrid night. I needed to be home in bed being in get rid of cold mode, but I was instead the other side of the world in 'lets see the world mode' lol. Anway the first day included buying a train ticket with the stuid machine giving me 24 euro in 2 lots.. thanks germany. Then we got turned down by a bank for exchanging money - then I rejected the bank rates on the swedish kroner I was going to get at another place. We arrived at the tourist information center to try and find something to do in the city. It wasn't looking good until we found that they do tours of the football stadium - supposed to be good. - So we navigated our way across the city to find it - walked through the (still pouring) rain to get to teh stadium - it was pretty cool. We got ourselves a tour in german! All was good - ahhh except that I or andrew didn't speak german. But the nice tour giude translated for us! yay. We got to see the rooms, they all have spa's in the change rooms!! BAWBAW!! what iss going on!! And boxmeer.... pick up your act! We then went to the museum there - but it was boring. We then came back had a dinner with Wilton (at the local hangout pub, nice meal and drink for 13 euro - not bad Germany, bye bye Scandinavia!!! and then went to bed. - As to where I am writing this now.
They knew the potential damage we could cause so they were correct to rope off the field.
