Hamburg (25th June)

I was given the awesome opportunity to go to Hamburg for the day with my German school friends and a Chilean exchange. Of course it is a far trip from Minden to go to Hamburg for just a day, it is about 3 hours or so on the train so we didn't get a whole lot of time to do many things.

But we visited the beautiful Rathaus, walk around the city, go to the docks and eat pommes with mayo (hot chips/fries). I was able to buy some postcards from a souvenir shop - it is a thing that I do that every city I go to (if I get the opportunity) to buy postcards and I don't know I think I can compile them all together and make a frame or something of them. I buy extras so I can send some home to my best friends and my family.

Hamburg really is a beautiful city and I have actually been there once before with my Counscellor's family during Easter Holidays. I think I might actually have some photos from then to show you what it is like. I remember then that in the part of the city where we were, it was like Venice because there were rivers flowing through the city. There were actually swans on the rivers too.

However this experience was really cool and I got to spend time with my great friend from Chile who was flying back home the next week or so. Hopefully I will get to spend more time there on the Rotex Deutschland Tour (if I get on the list) and take some awesome photos.
